#about the samcat

[samcat18]

It's so funny to rewatch a movie (inkheart) from 2008 in 2023 and to have to be like "okay, i gave you a really hard time when you came out but honestly you're better than a lot of movies coming out today, not half bad"

I sat down on the couch planning to write but now a cat has curled up in my lap to sleep, so I guess I live here now and writing is not happening.

#just writer problems #kitteh! #the Samcat is curled up so sweetly #she’s like #I know you wrote a bunch of words today #how about you let me and watch cdramas until bedtime

[flatstarcarcosa]

mentioned last night that sam is like a shared blorbo between me and @dadbodsandbots and the more i think about that the funnier it is.

my side puts that man in Situations and then her side has to Fix Him After.

Absolutely gotta tie my irl joy over my new job with SamCat au

After relocating back to Earth, Sam still stays with @flatstarcarcosa doing private security gigs and I get a job at a library to double income and also because Felix pre-fired me after watching me mix drinks for 2 seconds

The library has solid kids’ programming so Mason tags along with me no matter what branch or role I take. He grows up in an enriching environment that permits childish chaos with kids his own age, intellectual exploration, and a quiet corner to curl up in and read.

He basically lives my dream childhood of growing up in a library with constant connections to friend groups, trustworthy adults, and sharing lunch breaks with his mama while talking about the new things he learned or made ; v ;

I had a good old cry today. I found out this morning that my neighbour's beautiful cat is on his way out. Sam got cancer in his leg, it was amputated and he was given the all clear for a few months. But now it's back and it's in his lungs. I went to visit him this afternoon and he was laid on the settee. He was struggling to breathe but apparently he doesn't always. He's on pain meds so he is comfy. My cat, Loki, was already there when I went round. He and Sam are the best of friends and Loki is spending a lot of time being there for his pal. My neighbour and I have always joked about their sweet "bromance." It's particularly heartbreaking because it can't be explained to either of them as to what's happening. I cried softly as I stroked Sam and told him what a good boy he is. Then I cried a lot more when I got home. Tis just as sad for me when I'm about to lose an animal friend as it is when it's a human friend 😿💜🙏

LOKI & SAM

Better times 😻😻

CARRD |  RULES |  ABOUT |  VERSES

hello hello! this is a highly selective, private rp blog for MOTHER NATURE from the guardians of childhood series – however, this blog is heavily headcanon and mythology based. she fits into those verses quite easily, but i also have extensive verses for various fandoms!

please don’t interact if you’re under 18! the nsfw/triggering themes on this blog include abuse, child death, miscarriage, childbirth, gore, and drug use. all of these, and other triggers, will alway be tagged accordingly.

my name is samcat! i’m 25+ and i’ve had this blog since the ancient year of 2012, so i’m pretty old and don’t know a ton of what the Kids™ are doing, but i’m just here to have a good time. i can also be found @covenstrays​ and @filiat​ !

@faemoria​ asked: ♛ && also materxnatura !

[ ♛ ] SEND ME A URL AND I’LL TELL YOU THE FOLLOWING;

MY OPINION ON;

CHARACTER IN GENERAL: So, as I’ve told @materxnatura​,  I haven’t gotten to Mother Nature’s main part in the books yet. I mostly only know about Seraphina from the little insights we get about her during the first three books in her role as Kozmotis’ daughter and cheating and reading the black pages of The Sandman installment. I am super excited to get to her part of the story to find out more about her from canon! HOW THEY PLAY THEM: Well, as I mentioned above, I can’t speak to how alike or divergent Sera might be from the books, but I absolutely adore the way Samcat writes her! Sera is such an intriguing, complex, multifaceted character with her as a writer, and I am absolutely captivated every time I get a reply. She never ceases to pull on my heartstrings. This baby has been through so much and she deserves the absolute world! I went from being completely neutral about the character to being willing to throw down over her in about the span of two replies and if that doesn’t say something about how well Samcat writes her, then I don’t know what would. There is so much love and thought that goes into Sera and how Samcat writes her and I am honestly just in awe. The headcanons are fascinating and the depth to the character is incredible.  I just. I love how she writes Sera, so very, very much.  THE MUN: Samcat is so nice! We’ve talked quite a bit off and on since we first started discussing threads with Koz & Sera/Pitch & Mother Nature. Such a sweetheart, honestly. She’s put up with me throwing all of my random, rambling headcanons at her and all of the muse things at all hours of the day and night. Not to mention, we both seem to have a similar sense of humor/outlook which is Great. [ WARNING: She has also begun to enable me and anyone who wants to can blame her for me writing now THREE of five guardians, in addition to Pitch and his wife. ] Honestly a delight to talk to OOC and such a talented writer!!! Seriously, the way she writes is beautiful. Every reply is like a work of art. Joyce should have just left Seraphina to Samcat, like DreamWorks should have left Toothiana to Mem, and the Guardians series/franchise would have been all the better for it.

DO I;

FOLLOW THEM: I absolutely do on several of my accounts! RP WITH THEM: We have… four or five threads going, I think, and I love all of them. Again, as I mentioned above, every reply from them is a Wonder and I find myself re-reading them again and again because they’re just so amazing. The word choice and the voice. The characterization. Incredible. WANT TO RP WITH THEM: Without question, I look forward to where our current threads might go and to whatever else we might write in the future. SHIP THEIR CHARACTER WITH MINE: 😂 I mean, I’m game to explore if Sera is ever interested in a romantic ship with any of my other babies, but on the matter of familial relationships, let me just say that the father-daughter relationship between Koz & Sera / Pitch & Mother Nature is Beautiful. Samcat and I have discussed a few times now about how Koz and Sera are so similar and they both took similar journeys though in different ways and just. I have so many feelings about the Pitchiners as a whole. I would never have the time necessary to properly explain them. But yes. I love this relationship, both with Koz & Sera and with Ptich & Mother Nature.

WHAT IS MY;

OVERALL OPINION:

Such an amazing writer! Such an amazing character! I can’t wait for all of the heartwrenching wonderful replies to come in our current threads and the things we may write in the future!

**NOTE: MUN’S ANSWER ARE ALL TO BE COMPLETELY HONEST. DON’T SEND URL IF YOU DON’T WANT BRUTAL HONESTY. I MOSTLY JUST WANT AN EXCUSE TO SAY NICE THINGS ABOUT YOU && YOUR MUSES .

[faemoria]

                                           materxnatura  ,  if no one has suggested this yet.

[ ♛ ] send me a url and i'll tell you the following;

my opinion on;

character in general  :

seraphina exists on the long list of characters that have so much potential but so little follow through in their canon  .  which is fine  ,  really  ,  because then you get people like samcat who pick them up  &&  run away with them  .  what we do get to see of seraphina in the books is undoubtedly fascinating  &&  pretty neat  (  mostly  )  .  i like her role as a neutral force  ,  opposing the guardians being a force of ‘ good ’  while pitch is a force of ‘ evil ’ .  i just think it’s a little odd how young/immature it seems like she’s supposed to be in canon since she’s  .  .  .  well ‘mother’ nature  .  maybe i’ve just gotten to used to how samcat  (  &&  our other friend sasha  )  have portrayed her over all these years  .

how they play them  :

samcat is my partner in crime in grabbing one of the few female characters from this series that had like . . . three lines of dialogue  &&  just going batshit crazy with them for 9 years now  .  if you have a question about samcat’s portrayal of sera  ,  i can practically guarantee that she will be able to answer it  ,  either because she’s thought of it already  ,  or because she is so used to stepping into the character’s shoes that she can figure it out on the spot  . moreover  ,  i adore that samcat has kept that neutral element to seraphina’s character  ,  while also exploring some of the deeper aspects that her character allows for  ,  such as exploring parenthood  (  what makes a good person vs what makes a good mother  )  ,  the ways we cope with trauma  &&  humanity’s relationship with the planet it lives on  .

the mun  :

once again  !  this mun is one of my best friends !  i think samcat’s blog was one of the first that i followed when i made tooth’s back in 2012  &&  i still remember being so in awe  &&  giddy when she followed back because i was a little star struck  . honestly i still feel a little star struck talking to samcat after all these years  ,  just because she’s the sort of person you can’t help but admire  .  she’s also one of the strongest people i know  ,  though i wish life didn’t require it of her as often as it has  . anyways i can’t wait to visit her in a few weeks  &&  make her cry over anime  .

do i;

follow them  :

yes  !  another one of the first blogs i tend to follow when i make a new one  .

rp with them  :

yes  &&  it is a blessing  .

want to rp with them  :

i am always down for even more threads between this gay bird  &&  tree  .  or any of samcat’s other characters  !  she writes them all so well  .

ship their character with mine  :

/drags my hands down my face/ i have so many dumb feelings about seraphina x tooth it’s embarrassing  .  so usually when i get too worked up about it i make them a playlist or something lol  .  i just think they provide so much good to each other in practically every verse we throw them in  .  also what’s sexier than two wives who are both willing to kill for the other one  . i also appreciate the sort of cynical mentorship toothiana has with nahia  .  i always like the opportunities for tooth to interact with children because it is so fun to explore the ways that she is  &&  is not good with them  . let’s see . . . similarly we have a sort of mentorship idea going on between aqua  &&  nahia which  ,  again  ,  would love to explore more  .  nahia practically belongs in the kingdom hearts universe with how full of light she is  . &&  aqua has adopted seraphina as her mom  ,  no take-backsies  .

what is my  ;

overall opinion  :

**Note: Mun’s answer are all to be completely honest. Don’t send url if you don’t want brutal honesty. i mostly just want an excuse to say nice things about you && your muses .

[flatstarcarcosa]

You've mentioned it a lot, but did you ever explain how Felix ends up owning a bar in your canon? I'm curious :)

SO. for starters i just got off work and am typing this while trying to eat in the 45-65 minute span i'm gonna have between 'eat food, take meds' and 'pass the fuck out', if anything is disjointed that's why

but anyway so

it comes initially from me being like. what the fuck would felix even DO anyway, because he's absolutely not the 'sit at home all day doing nothing every day even if he has a good reason (the new disabilities)' type.

when he gets medically cleared, and by that i mean his doctors are like 'congrats you don't have to come here multiple times a month, see you in six months' as well as being informed he's basically back to as 'normal' a level as they can get him, it kind of. begins snowballing a little, into a place i don't like.

i joke about 'heehee, soup' but luck, the armor lock, and his armor itself are the only reasons he lived. and that living still involved a 6 week medically induced coma, and another month actually IN the hospital before they sent him home.

and they didn't want to send him home, they wanted to send him to an SNF for more-involved therapy and he just straight up refused and fucked off AMA with my promise to his team i would at least do what i could, which would damn sure be better than whatever he'd do alone.

so by the time we roll around to him being at a point of getting antsy and wanting to do something with himself, it's been a while since chorus. he still thinks that despite everything, things ain't as bad as it could be, he's worked his way back, he just has to brush off the rust and get back to it.

and then while he's learning to shoot again, because yes, in addition to having to learn how walk and get dressed and hold a fucking toothbrush again, he had to learn how to use a fucking gun, he realizes that like...........

maybe he's not getting back to anything.

he needs a (mostly) permanent stiff brace on his knee, and will forever. if he's planning on using his fucking leg for longer than an hour, he's got to have it. stiff ones aren't like the little sleeves you slip on and can hide under a pant leg, and i imagine even in the far-future canon, there's not that many changes made to 'em. you don't redesign something that works, right?

he gets to a point where he finds out he's also going to need to need a moderate dose of painkillers basically forever, and all of the issues keeping them legally comes with, because having your bones put back together and a lot of them replaced with fucking metal might keep you from being paralyzed but it's gonna hurt.

when he's learning to shoot again, he finds a new problem. his doctors had mentioned at one point it could be an issue, but because it hadn't been, he jumped to assuming that meant it wouldn't be, and the problem is that repeated motions put too much stress on the joints and the tendons in his hands and arms and the end result is a tremor.

you can't fucking shoot if you can't hold a gun still, and keeping his hands in the same positions while target shooting are enough to make the tremor act up after a bit. the same with trying to use knives.

and so we slip back into a second period of turmoil, because this is somehow like when we came home the first time, after reach, but also it's not. it's not the same at all, and he says that at least that time everything was actually fine.

it was fine because he could just pick back up with whatever he wanted but he can't do that now because he's spent too long only being good at one fucking thing and now he can't fucking do that fucking thing

"so what the FUCK am i supposed to do until i fucking die, since you and sam couldn't leave it alone on chorus?!"

it's probably, maybe, the first time since the whole thing that i actually step away and go stay with @dadbodsandbots and sam for a bit. (depending on the timeline, and i still haven't nailed down the details bc i would end up hyperfixating on the medical side of it wrt his recovery, but, mason might be a baby now??)

i leave not because i don't care but because i don't know what to do, or say. i'm not going to give him false positives just to keep the good vibes, and i'm not going to remotely imply he doesn't deserve to be angry and maybe losing a little bit (more?) of his mind about it, but from my perspective it's like

he did it to him fucking self.

this whole thing is just him, finally, for once, actually experiencing the consequences of his own goddamn bullshit, and while i'm not cruel enough to tell him that, i don't think i need too. i think he knows. he knows, and that's part of what makes him so goddamn mad about it.

i think maybe he shows up after a couple days, having at least asked sam if it was okay first before showing up, and it ends up being the first time the four of us are actually around each other.

we've seen each other, a little. sam stopped by once, not long after felix was up and walking again at home, and i could do a whole fucking post just about THAT from sam's perspective tbh. (POV: you feel the need to check in on your former partners/friends despite everything and you've had this mental image built up in your brain for a very, very, long time about the one that was basically gaslighting and emotionally abusing you where he's a looming threatening monster that twisted you into becoming the same and then he answers the door on fucking crutches with one leg still mostly held up with visible fucking braces and rods attached down the outside of it, and while the man was never Jacked in his build he looks so fucking gaunt that if someone said he was a walking corpse you wouldn't doubt it. your world view is thrown ass over end, for the second time within as many years.)

i think it's the first time sam begins to ponder the fact that again, despite everything, the four of us are also the only other people in the whole fucking galaxy that know exactly what happened and why we all ended up the way we did and where we did and how, and that for whatever that may be worth,

it's got to be worth something.

i think when we come back home again after that, felix has had time to stew in his anger after i left, and then chew on his anger coming after me, and then finally let it abate enough to see what it left behind while we're there.

and he says, "what the fuck do normal people even do for jobs, anyway?"

we're not hurting for money or anything. my penchant for never spending more than we needed to, his penchant for always finding new ways to add to the checks, and both of us likely having maybe-dubiously-legal investments over the years means that technically we're fine.

it's not about the money, which is something else that feels weird for him, when so much was for so long, but it's looped back to what i opened with: felix isn't the 'sit around at home all day and do nothing' type.

i end up being the one spouting off bartending. one of the things for combating the nerve issues and the tremors is actually walking the fine line of retraining his fine-motor control without over-exerting it. when we empty out the storage locker we've been paying on for well over a decade, he finds his old guitar and picks up playing again.

his doctor comments that it's a really good idea, actually, so good he's bummed he didn't think of it himself, because of guitar playing involving dexterity and use of the hands without them being stuck in the same positions for too long.

it sounds silly, but he picks up a bit of juggling, too. not like, circus level shit, but just the repeated motions of throwing things and tracking them and catching them and rinsing and repeating.

basically he ends up doing a lot of mostly-mindless stuff that involves keeping his hands and arms in use, with bonus points being anything he can kind of do while doing something else. (if you're like, omg does felix have fidget spinners the answer is no, but he does have other stim toys, but also, if you call them that he will throw it at you, tremors be damned.)

and so i'm like.

bartending.

you can still be around people and shit talk them, it'll be a good environment that isn't something lifeless and soul sucking, you'll get ample use of your hands, and as an added treat, "you get to control people when you tell them no more booze."

"and if they get mad about it, i might still get to stab people sometimes, too," he adds, cheerfully.

he ends up just working in some little dive when none of the clubs in the area hire him. we can't like, outright accuse anyone with no proof but we're pretty sure it's because the clubs are run by snobs that would rather close down early every night for lack of staff than have a bartender with a leg brace.

the owner of the dive is probably some ex UNSC guy himself, the type that doesn't think it's something to hide while not making it everyone else's business. the type of guy that can tell felix's made-up timeline and events he gives for how he got injured ain't really jiving, but thinks at the end of the day that a man's business is his own and he doesn't owe anyone explanations about it.

i think the bar has a high turnover because lots of people get hired thinking it's going to be something other than what it is, and they think the owner is a dick (he's just old, gruff, and low on patience) and felix is one of the few people that sticks it out. i think he has a relationship with The Owner based on friendly animosity.

("you have me closing alone every night leading up to memorial day, are you a fucking sadist? are you trying to fucking kill me?"

"we're already dyin' a day at a time kid."

"well, can you please do yours faster so i can piss on your grave and find a new job?" )

it means that after a handful years, when The Owner is packing it in and retiring, before he sells the building to a realtor, he asks felix if he'd be interested in buying the bar.

claims that the realtor just wants to bulldoze the building to put in condos, and he'd rather die in the bar in the middle of a shift than let that happen, but then he offers felix a lower price than what he'd get for the condos, and felix can't help but feel that's by design.

so he says fuck it, why not? might be nice ~*~*being his own boss~*~*~ again.

#txt.txt #but also #others: samcat #should i expand on The Owner and give him like a name or something? #probably. #do i want to given How I Am About Gruff Old Men? no #but also: he's the anti-sarge in the fact that he's not full of insanity and smooth brains like sarge is #they'd still weirdly probably get along though? in the sense that sarge would go on a rant about something #and The Owner is shooting the shit along with him and then as soon as he walks away he's telling felix like #'that guys fucking insane and an idiot i understand why you wanted to kill him' #ship: save me some sunshine

[flameofchaos]

1/3 I'm so glad you don't mind me reading the story you're writing with magickforged, and that you were able to read the messages I sent her! I wasn't able to send you a message on anon, and I always have a hard time "showing myself" at first, so to speak, so sorry I didn't get to contact you earlier as well. Well, as I said, I'm really enjoying the way you are both writing the characters and their interactions!

2/3I feel like you write Xellos showing less of his internal thoughts, feelings, motives and desires, which makes him a bit more difficult to grasp, but I also think it really fits the character. You write him very charming and fun, but with that edge of danger and menace hanging on his every gesture, every word. I really enjoy it, and even more combined with his care for Filia and his softness with Val (also, Xellos making pancakes? cute). It's a very intriguing very fitting mix, in my opinion

3/3 And don't worry about your English. I myself am not native, so maybe I'm biased, but it's perfectly okay. It just makes what you're doing even more challenging and admirable. I hope you have a nice day!

Thank you for all those words :D and I hope some day you would feel more comfortable with us. 

Always feel free to leave a comment or message about your feelings about my and Samcat’s thread.

My Xellos is a secret beast and lack of his internal thoughts is on purpose to make him more mysterious, but also because... as a mazoku he doesn’t feel storm of emotions. He isn’t able to love or feel compassion. He came there with a mission and would do everything to accomplish it. 

Hoooowever... there is a force that affects him and he isn’t aware of it. With time things can run away from his control.

Prepare for many cute scenes with Val. :D

But also for all the spectrum of other feelings: from silly to sad and even disgusting and horrible situations.

Welcome in our little strange family :)

Well it took like a week and a half of being exposed to both positive parents, but guess who's got her first positive covid test??
