After four years, I finally have video proof of Purra* making that horrible noise that is one of the three sounds she makes. The other two are "radio static" and "creaking door hinge." She does not meow. Or growl. All the noises she makes are some combination of these.
She's a freak and I love her.
*Full name Purramid Head, special thanks to @aftepes for giving us the name way back in 2020 when we were calling her "the Silent Hill kitten" because of the noises she made.
Love that Picard was like: the Beverly I know would never do these things like Crusher wasn't always down to violate the Prime Directive and disobey direct orders if they somehow got in her way of helping people
Like, I hate to break it to you, Jean-Luc, but Beverly definitely would do these things
ellie learning what trustfalls are from tommy and subsequently falling back onto joel at any and all inconvenient times, like to stall him on the way to patrol or to interrupt his conversations with ladies trying to flirt with him or to get him to drop stuff he’s holding
the one time he tries to get her back by trustfalling her, she just slides back real fast, and he ends up flat on his ass. turns out tommy warned her about that move
I’ve been reading a fic with Ghost and Riley and my König obsessed brain is like ‘give him a wolf, do it’. So I am:
Her name is Königin, Queen in German. (I used Google translate, let me know if there’s a more proper name)
König found her when she was a puppy and he was 15. It was during the winter when he was on break at his Grandma’s place
She lives in rural mountain village and took in the puppy with no issue
König took care of her the whole time and took her home with him (his mother was reluctant but relented)
König has a sister who loves Koenigin but doesn’t have as strong of a bond since she lives with their grandma
She is very protective of König and his sister but prefers König
When Koenig joined the military, he submitted paper work to have her trained for personal protection, search and rescue, and bomb detection. (Don’t really care if this isn’t possible, let it love my dream)
She did amazing and was able join Koenig in the field.
She memorizes people by their smell rather than sight, so she recognizes Koenig whether he wears the hood or not
She is massive and loves to snuggle and lick people, but will listen to Koenig no matter what without having to repeat commands
She can do basic stuff, but also bite, growl, crawl, and jump. (Pulling things out of my ass rn. My grandparents have a dog and I love her but omg I can’t think of shit rn.)
She only does this with Koenig, and sometimes with his family. But will 100% listen to König ever time the first time.
When Koenig joined KorTac, she had to be left with his family in the mountains. Koenig was very sad but he held out.
Whenever Koenig comes home to her, she’ll freeze and snap her head in his direction, totally still. Once she sees him and Koenig acknowledges her, she will run and jump on him.
Horangi loves her and she likes him almost as much as Koenig, but he still holds first place.
Listen. We didn't get all the time we wanted with Tom, but goddammit we got Robina back. 💜
ACADEMY AWARD NOMINEE LESLEY MANVILLE 💖💖💖
World on Fire has MANY flaws but damn, the stories that Peter Bowker has created for the women in this series are great. 100000 times better than the dudes.
Robina is difficult, puts her foot in it, is trying her best, has taken people in (despite really not wanting to) and has such deep insecurities. When we say we want diversity in how women are written, these are the sorts of parts we mean!!! Normal, complicated women.
