#but for cats mad is different

[gibbearish]

eternal fight between wanting to correct a misconception abt cats but also knowing that it was just a silly joke and i shouldnt take it so seriously but also something being a joke doesnt mean you shouldnt still point things out but also i have no expertise beyond just "i have multiple cats and spend way too much time watching them and thinking about the way they interact w each other and what that means about how their brains work" which means i would just be talking out of my ass anyways because i have no way of telling if my interpretations are right or if im anthropomorphizing them

#origibberish #anyways. your cat isnt trying to steal your food #he doesnt understand 'your' food vs 'my' food he just understands 'food' #and sees you as another cat and when cats are eating and another cat wants some they just. walk up and partake #so if youre having issues with that you gotta start using cat language to tell them to back off #like growling/hissing at your cat is allowed they do it at each other all the time for a reason #actually slight correction they do understand 'my' food but only in terms of 'i caught this so it is my trophy' #food thats just Around is communal #so think like a cat and say no this is MY kill in cat words #i killed this sandwich and IM going to eat it #like theres a part of me thats like 'no you cant hiss at your cat thats mean!' but thats looking at it through human eyes #we see hissing as mean because its The Mad Sound and mad is Bad and Angry and Personal #but for cats mad is different #theres no values or anything behind it‚ mad just means 'stop what youre doing or ill hit you' #and like you know actually hitting your cat would be shitty and abusive and that threatening smth like that to a child would be equally #and abusive so in ur brain ur like 'i cant threaten him in cat speak' #but like its not a threat for them!! its just a warning so that they know the other cat Doesnt Like What Theyre Doing!!! #thats how they establish boundaries!!! so not only are you allowed to use it i would even say trying to actually bring yourself to your #cats level in terms of communication is probably like. better? #but i mean again. this is all based entirely off of half remembered cat facts books from childhood and spending way too long #watching the endless drama between my children #so. take literally all of that with a grain of salt #actually scratch that ive decided i am an expert now. universities i am willing to be a professor of cat psychology

i feel like i never draw tim smiling but bb robin tim smiles a lot! (in between angst and tragedy)

brought to you by my continued attempts at figuring out tim’s early robin hair

#dc #sart #tim drake #he’s got smug cat energy and i love him #most of these are referencing moments from tim’s earlier appearances which i /tried/ to track down but they’re like scattered across #like 4 different series and bleh #’tec 365-367 does have Batman and robin fight a villain thru the power of Tim’s mad gaming skills while Jim Gordon gets addicted to video #games in the background #ringing in the new year w my boy 😤 #I started this a while ago but got stuck in anatomy hell #are u really an artist if u’ve never stripped downt to ur underwear so u can stand in front of a big mirror #and stare furiously at ur own joints

grian calling himself an outdoor cat wasn't on my bingo list but you know what. given how much he's fishing and then how much he naturally spends so much time whacking things with his paws for fun to see how they break. i think grian may INDEED be a catboy this season,

#hermitcraft #grian #i was about to make a different joke about him being an outdoor cat #re: recently my city having ended a particular stray cat control measure that people are mad that they ended #and then i decided it was slightly too far for this blog. #anyway.

There are some scenes in BSD you could have fun with actually

A doctor becomes the leader of an organization by killing the last one, making it look like natural causes somehow with the witness being an apprenticed aged guy telling him to say that the former leader said that his successor was the doctor

Like that would be cool as shit in bonewarriors. Evil medic that gained power in a way that people can’t question but also like… should? Would be a hell of an exploration I think

Ok but like, that's Good writing. Good writing isn't as much fun to fix. From what you're telling me, Bungo is a Good series

If there was any anime I was going to beat with a hammer until it's a good story it's Naruto. That is the kind of anime that's so close to being good its ending will fold a protein in your brain wrong and become a prion disease

#if BB ever became an original project and I had to make things more different from WC I'd take inspiration from there #because with the village setup + kage/daimyo distinction + lineages... #it would actually be a fantastic setup for a longterm story about generational changes. Which is the biggest reason I love WC so much #it's not that because Kishi is like... uninterested in actual politics. still mad about the conclusion of shippuden. #but anyway I won't get too into my problems with naruto because this is a cat blog #i yelled about them once before lmaoo #I'll talk about Naruto more on bonebabbles if it's requested though.

Dc x dp idea:

Klarion gets his ass handed to him by young justice so hard that he is on the verge of death. With what little energy he has left he creates a teleportation sigil before passing out.

When he wakes up he’s in the far frozen with teekl 1 and 2 next to him and a yeti and a boy slightly older than him across the room talking.

After talking with frostbite and getting to know Danny, Dani and Jazz he becomes a part of the Phantoms and by extension, a prince of the Infinate realms.

He’s still allowed to cause chaos on earth but he needs to have a way to communicate with frightknight or Danny and have both his now immortal cats with him.

The same old song and dance happens until young justice visit the Infinate realms and attack Klarion on sight only to be arrested.

#this would be even better if it was an event to find Klarion a suitor #the observents have done this with the other three with no results #and this is no different #they probably only got in because of kal’dur #just imagine their shock when they see Klarion there #you think they’ll question why Klarion suddenly has both his dead cats again #danny phantom #danny phantom crossover #dp x dc crossover #dc #I swear the next one won’t be dpxdc #young justice #Ellie just see then attack her new little brother and was like nope not happening #someone is now missing a chunk of their arm #and Danny is screaming at the mentors to control their kids #jazz is just as mad but knows it’s handled by the other two and takes to making sure klarion is ok

I feel kind of bad about that post I made talking about how Odysseus would never sacrifice his family to save his own skin while I didn't give a name, I hope that person doesn't feel bad or that they get hate. As I don't want to gatekeep someone's interpretation of the Odyssey but also...while I guess you could claim that he would do that, there's so much MORE evidence as to how he would literally rather be stabbed than see his wife and son have even a splinter

Her rejecting him at first put him in a bad position. Honestly, in an alternate universe, where she didn't accept him or trick him that night, I think the poor guy would've cried himself to sleep again in that separate cot. He'd probably cry to Athena and ask if he did something wrong.

It would probably be an "awkward morning" of Odysseus and Penelope silently doing their things (not bringing up suitors' parents right now. And Odysseus would probably tell Telemachus to not say anything stupid.) and eventually, everything would bubble up out of Odysseus and honestly, I could see him straight up begging her to accept him. Not even caring about how he appeared to others.

Honestly, if she DID take a lover in that time...I think he'd either accept it and just...wander? Around Ithaca as a beggar as he doesn't want to be away from them but if they won't accept him, what else can he do? OR if she had another lover, (War flashback of the shitty retelling where Penelope has an affair) he'd probably kill the lover as let's be honest, Odysseus is basically a Yandere, to put it simply. Touch the wife, you get the knife.

And yeah, he doesn't JUST want his family.

"Oh, he wants to not be in constant danger."

"He just wants to go back to Ithaca."

"He wants to be king again."

Boy howdy, he sure does!!! But if, for example, Penelope and Telemachus for some reason moved to somewhere else? IDK, AU where they permanently moved to Sparta, hanging with Helen and Menelaus, and she didn't remarry or something. He'd be like "Shit, okay, BRB." And go to them. He'd probably have them all go back to Ithaca but still, THEY ARE HIS HOME. They make Ithaca home. Any place is home as long as he has them.

Despite having the opportunity to wed the most beautiful woman in the world, he took the Oath so then he could marry Penelope. And even then, it wasn't "for sure" as he had to race her dad. He did so much simply to have the CHANCE to marry her even though he probably wasn't planning on getting married as he brought no gifts. And he did so much so then he wouldn't have to leave the life they had built together and their young baby.

He could've had ANYONE. Went ANYWHERE. Did ANYTHING and he still wanted THEM.

Like??? Holy shit. This guy would do ANYTHING for them. I mean that's kind of why he's considered to be so "scummy" in how ride or die he is for them and basically a bitch to everyone else. That's what makes him SO different from many of his peers.

Person: Would you rather have your family- Odysseus: Family, always. Person: I didn't even say it yet- Odysseus: I don't fucking care. Always family. Person: Even if it meant you got immortality and a hot goddess for a wife? Odysseus: You act like that's a good thing? That was literally torture. Fuck you. I already have a hot Water Wife™ that I get the privilege to drown in every day. She gave me a wonderful Water Son™ who is the light of my eyes and who I am more proud to be the father of than I am of being the son of an Argonaut Person: Even if I give you a million dollars? Odysseus, acting nonchalant while Penelope picks the person's pockets: As if we can't get that on our own. Person: You'd die? Odysseus: I'll set myself on fire if I have to. Person: ...Okay, new question. Would you rather lose your family- Odysseus: The other option. Always. Person: Even torture? Odysseus: I never said I would like it, just that I would do it. Person: Even yeet a baby?! Odysseus: I'll punt the baby if I have to. It's not like I wanna but I gotta do what I gotta do.

And so on and so forth. You GET IT.

#It's technically not enough as I will not shut up about them EVER but yeah. I have cat on lap. I have a cookie. aaaaaaaaaaaa #I did mean for this to be an apology and it became a rant again. I'm so sorry. but yeah... :'D I'm so fucking sorry. I'm such a bitch #I realized that there really wasn't the best evidence for this idea of him saving himself. there's more evidence to COUNTER that. #I mean he could've killed Penelope because she rejected him at first. HE was at risk because she didn't accept him. #and while he was REALLY fucking hurt and called her cruel. he STILL let her have their bed. Their fancy bed that represented THEM #that he refused to sleep in any other bed but that one but if she's not in it with him? There's no point. #It's not a marriage bed if he can't have the marriage that it represents with it. #sad au where Odysseus isn't accepted and he just...stays and watches... can't even move on because he doesn't want anything else #Mad rambles #shot by odysseus #let's be real. Odysseus is against drowning but if it's from the Water Wife???👀 He'd be fine sinking to the bottom of the “river” #“Get in the Water” sung by Penelope would be a COMPLETELY different...tune. #*coughs* #I feel so insane right now.

If a native person tells you not to do or use something because it misues or mocks something from their culture, even if you personally didn't think it did or that the thing in question "isn't actually that special", your first instinct should be to listen to them and not try to "prove them wrong" (especially if it's something as small and simple as 'don't put feathers behind the cat's ears' like why are you choosing this hill to die on, are you okay? Do you like yourself very much?).

#i'm really nervous posting this but it's been on my mind for this past like week or so and JLDFSKSLDKFJ #i've had a few non native people complaining about or trying to debate me on the ear feather rule on the pixel cat gen #but i've always just ignored them or deleted their messages. i've got no time for that #but ajhjkdf #today i was at my limit #list of every stupid shit argument i've accumilated this week -> #'if christians got mad about halos and angel wings being used on designs everyone would be laughing at them! why is this any different? 🤓' #'culture doesnt have any meaning and all tribes tend to do the same thing so why is this such a problem? 🤓' #'youre wrong and misinformed here watch this ancient documentary made exsclusively by white men 🤓' #'this pains me to see. :( why are you so mad about this when there are serious problems like world hunger and pollution? 🤓' #and everyone's favorite #'i bet all the people arguing about this are just stupid woke white kids... as someone who is 0.0000001% native american i say- 🤓' #warrior cats

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)

i love it when there’s just a spontaneous wednesday addams post in the nevermoor tag, like friend you got a bit lost but you can stay until you find your way back

#they’re both mildly gothic i suppose #but in vastly different ways #one typo and you’re in a bizarre world with giant talking cats #and a ginger madman #and hotel rooms that get mad at you and turn your bed into cactus pots #nevermoor #morrigan crow #the trials of morrigan crow #hollowpox #wundersmith #this is my coping mechanism for dealing with the book being pushed back another year #silverborn #not really silverborn but i wish<333

"I was surprised you'd stick up for Astarion"

Shadowheart. GIRL. He's biting me every night. You sleep right next to us. I'm bending my goody-two-shoes paladin ass over backwards to get him to like me. Do you not have eyes? You tought I'd sell him out to a monster hunter??? Girl. Girl, I figured out what your hand wound does. It's selective blindness. Shar, goddess of darkness, makes perfect sense, girl, Shadowheart, listen-

#sari plays bg3 #this woman! I swear!!! #driving me mad #I kind of hate that I've grown so fond of her?? #like. shar worship? BAD! and she can be unkind and uncaring and also ruthless. BUT. she also ends up liking doing good #and she CAN be cautious and patient and measured when she puts in the effort #and gale? he's not without sins. obviously. he's also very in the 'I regret that it didn't work' stage still rather than 'I regret doing #that' stage. which. I do get honestly? and he LOVES power. and he keeps spinning every story in a way he never admits he does love power #but he's SO nice. I love the way he talks. he's so intense about magic. so sweet about mystra. he's insane about his cat. #he locked himself in his tower moping for a year. it's implied that said tower was MEGA cluttered with artefacts before that. #how can you not love him at least a little bit? right? #I love how complex the characters are in this game #like even astarion- am I insane about him? yes. absolutely. I talk to him just to look at his face. I stare at his hands when he talks. BUT #he can be an asshole. just AWFUL. but I'm getting to know him so much and honestly who wouldn't be like that after what he's been through.. #I'm 20 hours into the game and already I can't wait for future playthroughs where I spend more time with different characters #karlach and halsin are so fun! wyll is such a disaster! lae'zel is such a bitch! I love all of them.

I hope I'm doing this right I've never really done asks before :,) rootspring with the ace or sunset aroace flag pls? <3

#warrior cats #warriors #wc #rootspring #pride icons #havent drawn rootspring in literal years im sorry his design's a touch scattered haha #i like to give him brown spots to give across a 'muddy/earthy' idea to go with the connotations of his prefix #i also changed up his shapes a little to differentiate him from flipclw more #all of the tbc cast have really different silhouettes in my head EXCEPT those two and it was driving me mad

#Furby died and I'm devistated #what was wrong was even worse than her dying from spider bite or snake #we figured out it was my young cousin and my friend's 7 year old playing outside and running around like mad #and he accidentally swung the door and it slammed her #I went back to bed that morning despite feeling the nudge to get up and join everyone #and it feels like if I'd been up I would have been out with them and could have prevented it #I miss her so much and she was so into everything and underfoot I keep seeing her everywhere #I spent most of the day at the vet #she was still alive this morning so I started having hope that she could make it #I've lost 5 pets in the last year and a bit to all different things and I'm so tired #I try so hard to take good care of them and it just keeps happening #why do my pets keep dying? #I didn't want Furby when she first came and I thought I was just taming her for a week to go to a new home #I'd only really just started thinking of her as specifically my cat and imagining having her for 15 more years #and now she's dead at 5 months #I'm so full of grief and so tired

Does anyone else also interpret the Banana Fish anime and the manga as like, different stories? I know they're not that different but it's the little differences that make them feel like separate to me

#i haven't read the whole manga yet but with the little i've read i feel a huge difference between #the story akimi yoshida tried to tell vs the story the anime wanted to tell #i hope that makes sense #for a long time i was really mad at akimi yoshida for how she would talk about the story/characters and what she'd do with them #as an anime-first fan #but now i feel like maybe i was a bit too harsh and i can interpret the anime and the manga as having different messages #not to exempt yoshida from all blame. there's still stuff i heavily disagree with her on and do not at all endorse #but i think i like looking at it this way #if anyone who's read the whole manga and watched the anime wants to chime in please do so! i'm very open to discussion on this subject #banana fish #cat rambles

@beegswaz genuinely i think my favorite tags on any of my work ever. i fucking love when people talk abt my characters like this

#its like blorbo from my show but with fucking minecraft and i love it deeply #for the record both Groda and White Eyes get socialized in the modern world like feral cats #both by the main players but it does happen at different times bc they all encountered Groda first when she held Rana hostage for bait #she'd kinda gone crazy after all those years of isolation lol #did that bc she thought Herobrine was the knight who betrayed her during the time period where people were wanting to overthrow her #(the knight worked for the royal family and was one of Groda's childhood friends. that did not last needless to say) #thankfully at the end of the day all 4 of the main players managed to get out alive though not unharmed with Groda in tow #when there's something trying to kill you every other day in this universe though they honestly cant be too mad about it #it doesnt help that Groda is just Really Stupid sometimes (all the time) #she's literally Peridot from SU in that she seems really intimidating but in hindsight is a massive dork #and also the fact that is the voice i imagine her having its so good #once her ability to use magic is taken away she's literally just like a scared feral street cat. does not know what the FUCK is going on #also rendering her communication with 3/4ths of the players useless since she only knows Galactic and no one alive knows that but Herobrine #(not helping the coincidental similarities to the knight but thats not him) she'll learn commonspeak later tho #ironically later down the line when Groda is spotted by the cult getting her magic back will be a key part in taking down White Eyes #she really does want to change for the better but she needed a LOT of shit kicked into her in order to start actually making the change #that being said when White Eyes eventually gets integrated it IS On Sight #she has had to been quite literally pried of Groda AT LEAST once by the others in order to keep from killing her #but other than that she'll be okay :) she picks up painting eventually #her open wounds are finally able to heal over once released from the influence of the Wither but she's still scarred unfortunately #mentally and physically! #but its only up from here... right? #actually since I talked abt the players first encounter with Groda im gonna reblog that aftermath comic again it still fucks #minecraft au mastertag
