#calling all cat ladies

#I know I joke about this every time I make a dramatic shift in focus on this blog #but I'm very touched that you've all just decided to roll with it as I become inexplicably transfixed with rubber face dolls #I was talking to my dad yesterday and he asked what I'd been doing lately #and I tried to show him the dogs and tell him about my plans for customizing them #and he just kinda laughed at me and said I was 'veering into crazy cat lady territory' #kinda.... bummed me out :( like why'd you ask if you were just gonna make fun of me #(he also called my idogs creepy...... why was he feeling so mean yesterday)

SEASON 5 ENDING SPOILERS

ok yknow what - more thoughts about the ending of S5 and why I was so thrown by it

Cat Noir wasn't there!!! CAT NOIR WASN'T IN THE GRAND FINALE DEFEAT OF HAWK MOTH?? HOW IS THIS REAL??

That's one thing.

The other thing is how ambiguous Gabriel's feelings toward Adrien actually ARE. does he hate him? see him as someone to be controlled? as a power play? what's up with the pancakes and the 'call me dad' then??? is it just for show/a ruse/a trick/a trap that'll get revealed?

I could see a real change of heart happening when he realized he was dying. if he didn't also continue browbeating Adrien about being with Kagami and not Marinette.

he didn't HAVE a rich-person superiority complex UNTIL season 5, either, so that came out of nowhere.

his attitude towards Adrien doesn't seem to have changed at all WHAT DO THE PANCAKES MEAN THEN?? Even Nathalie is surprised by this! it is never explained!

Then Ladybug comes in with "Nathalie is dying, you're dying, how much sacrifices are you willing to make?? Adrien has moved on, but you're about to DESTROY him! Nathalie is dying! You're dying! Giving his mother back won't help anything!"

and this works?? for some reason?? looking back I suppose the pancakes DID mean he cared for Adrien?????? and the Kagami thing was the one and only thing he put his foot down about?

IDK this needed to be foreshadowed a LOT better. we needed to really see him, telling Emilie or Nathalie "wow... I've been treating Adrien so poorly lately... I should be a better dad... this is really important to me. like even to the point of like. half the reason I'm bringing Emilie back at all is for him!" And guess what? He DID tell this (or most of it) to Adrien! And I didn't believe him! Why? BC HE'S LIED TO ADRIEN BEFORE. He's also manipulated Adrien's friends (and anyone, really!) just to get an akuma victim. (don't tell me this wasn't what was happening WAY BACK IN THE BUBBLER.)

honestly I've NEVER been sure whether Gabriel's concern for Adrien is real. it seemed real in Santa Claws. It seemed very much less real in The Collector. It seemed less and less real with every alternate reality where Adrien/Cat Noir was akumatized because Gabriel found out his identity.

APPARENTLY IT WAS REAL THO? just twisted?

like - the one time Gabriel saw Adrien, just Adrien, and DIDN'T akumatize him! and the time Adrien was in danger and Gabriel gave different instructions to an akumatized villain! the moment Gabriel realizes he's Cat Noir he becomes fair game??

Anyways this. all helps us with not knowing until the last moment what Gabriel is gonna do when he has both Miraculouses to make a wish. but it's NOT WORTH THE AUDIENCE CONFUSION!

and then we have a timeskip to 'happily ever after' basically and the main focus is the environment!?!? and the political system?!?! SINCE WHEN WAS MYLENE THE MAIN CHARACTER OF THIS SHOW?? SINCE WHEN WAS MS BUSTIER THE MAIN CHARACTER?? got me really questioning also bc all this good stuff is too good to be true??? what's the catch?? is Hawk Moth ruler over all Paris or smth?? the whole show is legit about balance, does that only mean balance when it comes to Miraculouses? what's the downside to all this utopian stuff??

we see ?Emilie? I thought?!?! existing? (but apparently it was Amelie??) and that's about ALL the closure we get for ANYTHING

WHAT EVEN HAPPENED THEN? WHAT WAS THE WISH? I thought Gabriel wished for Emilie to be brought back! and the sacrifice was (plot twist!) HIMSELF since he was dying anyway??? BUT NO APPARENTLY THAT WAS AMELIE SO WHAT DID HE EVEN DO? Did he sacrifice himself so NATHALIE could live (I don't remember if she's around but she might've been) for Adrien, and Gabriel could be reunited with Emilie in death??

I COULDN'T EVEN TELL IF MARINETTE AND ADRIEN WERE STILL THE HOLDERS OF THEIR MIRACULOUSES??? WAS THAT WISHED AWAY?? ARE THEY NOT NEEDED ANYMORE BC IT'S HAPPILY-EVER-AFTER PARISIAN UTOPIA NOW?? GABRIEL TALKED ABOUT MAKING MULTIPLE WISHES WHAT DID HE EVEN DO???

and! lastly! and most importantly! WHY DOESN'T ADRIEN KNOW ANYTHING? WHY DOESN'T CAT NOIR KNOW ANYTHING? WHY WASN'T ADRIEN/CAT NOIR THERE FOR THE ACTUAL LEGIT FINALE OF THE SHOW?!?!?!?!

instead we get unified Plagg and Tikki FOR LADYBUG??

IS THIS NOT A TEAM EFFORT?

HAS IT NOT BEEN LADYBUG AND CAT NOIR AGAINST THE WORLD FROM SEASON 1, EPISODE 1? WAS IT NOT INTENTIONAL IN S5 WHEN THE MIRACULOUSES WERE LOST AND IT WENT BACK TO BEING A PARTNERSHIP INSTEAD OF A TEAM???

HOW IS ADRIEN/CAT NOIR NOT THERE FOR THE FINALE!?!?

just. for real guys

legit

endings need to be decisive. NOT vague and ambiguous. not this way.

TL;DR Adrien/Cat Noir needed to be there, and we needed much more clarity on Gabriel/Hawk Moth's motives/intentions. also the ending/epilogue needed. uh. much better prioritization lol.

#miraculous ladybug #mlb #adrien agreste #gabriel agreste #marinette dupain-cheng #hawk moth #ladybug #cat noir #monarch #legit y'all I just call him Hawk Moth #never did like bothering with him changing his name whenver he got new powers #it's a little teensy bit of a stretch whenever Ladybug unifies with another kwami and goes AHAHA I AM DRAGON BUG NOW or whatevs. #and it makes sense differnet holders of the same kwami have different names #e.g. Cat Noir and Lady Noir and Kitty Noir (clearly the 'noir' caught on and is memorable lolz) #and Ladybug and Scarabella #and Aspik and Viperion #etc. all makes sense perfectly #but the main villain changing his main title from season to season is just. ugh #IDK most of the time in S5 he's JUST Hawk Moth but his suit is still different?? #nathalie sancouer #emilie agreste #s5 #miraculous ladybug season 5 #mlb s5

Cranky old lady with the loudest purr!

My constant companion for almost 12 years now. She'll be 14 this year.

We've been through a lot together, a couple of moves and one across the country!

She may not like to be held, and she may not be a lap cat but she sleeps by my head every night.

Her Royal Highness, Princess Katya Puffypants.

She rules this house with an iron paw.

#cat #elegant older lady #she lets us call her Katya but we all know her full title #the vet thought i was kidding #shelter cat #former feral #adopt dont shop #spay and neuter #her purr can shake the walls #best kitty ever

kaeya would have an absol in a pokemon au. it's 4am im not making a detailed post abt this right now but he would. they are both well intentioned and misunderstood and i think he would adore the hell out of his weird dog.

#my post #miz's thoughts #he's got an entire pack of them change my mind. he's breeding them trying to get a shiny but he adores every single one. #kaeya has so many absols it's insane. crazy cat lady style #but he wants a red one bc it reminds him of diluc #ALSO absol is my all time favorite but i wouldn't call this projecting. i think it fits really well and it just so happens to also be my fav

I kinda have lost all motivation for drawing digitally... I don't really know why. Objectively, it's easier to make stuff look decent but it's, at least at the moment, not fun anymore. So. Paper it is lol

#starting with a little page comic of my tav paladin lady lin being peer pressured into baa-ing at a redcap lol #I have way too many bg3 characters now #but lin damas and dee are at the forefront of my mind #I also want to draw all my durges jnteracting #damas would kinda be the big brother of ash #(and the only one who remotely has his shit together) #nallyn would be her beautiful evil self #dee would probably try to kill her #and ash can hide behind damas lol #ash and damas are both asmodeus tiefling sorcerers #but while ash is a pathetic wet cat of a person #damas just gets shit done #(he checks afterwards if what he did was good by seeing if karlach and/or wyll approved lol) #(he's not insecure about it if they don't. he just shrugs‚ moves on and tries again next time) #later on halsin and jaheira get added to the external moral compass squad #especially jaheira #damas would die for her without a second thought #he also calls her old constantly #they love each other lol

I've spent the latest days reading the Iliad over and over. I have many copies (different translations and an Ancient Greek-Spanish one). I literally highlighted with blue and post-its every single scene where Agamemnon appears, talks, or is named. :3 also bonus for Agamemnon and Cassandra stickers, and bookmark:

I assure you I can counterargument any unfair criticism you have against him >:( I'm writing an essay about him, all his flaws, and all his good sides 💕🦁

#i just love him so much #and i still dislike achilles so much #if people can love Achilles by twisting the sources and woobifying him I have all the right to adore Agamemnon without twisting the source #also dude... xD Idomeneus and Agamemnon was something. #agamemnon #i think the only person who could compete with me it's Schliemann #xD I mean Schliemann had a son and named him Agamemnon #I'm childless so far. I would get a cat and call him Agamemnon. #And build him a mini Troy city with boxes so he can destroy them. #this is how a lawyer lady studies #lots of post its i got a collection #Agamemnon in Book IX is literally a sad soaked cat 🐱 but nah you ppl portray him as evil and cold hearted

GOD been thinking about my OCs (instead of insecticides as I should) and!! I have this deity, their name is Lady Mallow, she's the God of death and a bunch of things more. And like, I'm going to talk about her!

Lady Mallow's main form are mallows (of course) but, also, that of a human. In most stories, she'll actually be represented as a human (exact descriptions vary but all agree that they're always surrounded by mist as if difficult to see or comprehend fully)

So, because I don't want my cats to be weirdly xenophobic towards outsiders and all their lifestyles, clan cats actually look at kittypets with a mix of confusion and awe.

To them, humans are wildcards, sometimes they take you away forever, they can be dangerous, they drive prey away, they are clumsy and obsessed with touching! the things that they do make no sense! But, making cats live longer? Not getting sick at all? How?

At first their concept of a deity of death was nebolous, it didn't have any shape. As they started to develop burying rituals tough, they noticed that mallows would grow on the places where their loved ones laid. This soon started to form an idea.

However, Lady Mallow's relation to humans wouldn't come until much later and thanks to Silvereye, a Mountainclan seer. You see, Silvereye got extremely sick at some point in his life. It came to a point in which everyone knew he would die. But instead of accepting death, Silvereye told his clanmates that he had received a vision and that he was to leave to the humans. His clanmates made it so that he was found by a human and carried away. Everyone thought they would never see him again, but! They did! And Silvereye was stronger and healthier than ever. He spoke tales of weird medicines and of falling asleep and waking up smelling odd. He also spoke about the human who had nursed him back to health, of how all she had wanted in exchange was love! How strange!

Silvereye continued to have a normal life in his clan but, for some reason, he just didn't die! He lived longer than all his clanmates and never got sick much. Because he lived so long, there were many the generations that heard his stories and, after his death, those would go on to inspire the mythos every cat knows today.

Of course, many other would join in. Sparkbelly of Seaclan, who was handed over to humans as a sickly child by her grieving mother, and Russetclaw of Brookclan, a warrior turned seer who miraculously survived extreme wounds and infection. Both of them would go through similar experiences and would add to Lady Mallow's stories with those of their own, quickly solidifying humans as creatures related to her.

As to why humans love cats and are willing to serve them, well...

"There's this story, it's a sad one, it tells of a mother that is about to lose all her kittens to sickness, famine and predators. Of a mother that wouldn't stop crying and wailing for she couldn't live without her dear children. So miserable her cries were that even the mallows took pity on her."

"When the Lady appeared she tried to console the mother, she told her that death was her friend and it would receive her kittens in warm paws offering nothing but relief of their hunger, tiredness and hopelessness. Yet it only made the mother's heart break more."

"So she asked the cat what she could do to stop her cries. The mother answered she wanted no more than to protect her kittens of all tragedies, to make sure they all lived happily and, when death came to them, that it was only due to old age."

"Lady Mallow, as merciful and pious as is, decided to transform the mother into a new creature, one resembling themself, so that she had the power to help fullfil her wish. The mother took her offspring and, grateful as she was, swore to the Lady that she would forever care for catkind. Thus her children, and those who followed in her care, survived, were happy and died of old age"

(quick explanation/context time! In Spanish 'criar malvas'='to grow mallows' and it means being dead! This expression comes form the fact that mallows grow well in any soil here in Spain, being able of growing in really poor ground. Back in the day, where cemetary grounds where umkept, these flowers would grow everywhere giving the impression that the flowers where using human bodies as fertilizer. In this case, my cats would try to keep their cemeteries from growing certain types of plants such as thistles or foul smelling plants that would make cats uncomfotable spending time there. This artificial selection of plants eventually made some plants (mallows) grow more than others! Giving the impression that they were, somehow, related to death. Nowadays mallows are sacred and a very important part of burying rituals.)

Lady Mallow uses she/her and they/them pronouns.

I'll try to write more about her in the future! I really like this concept I've came up with honestly.

#warrior cats #warriors #the iberian clans #warrior cats oc #Mythology #Lady Mallow #Rambles #I wish I could write more! #But the insecticides... They call to me. #Wish me luck studying!!! #As a remainder: I'm Spanish and I'm dumb #I tried to make sound... Pretty. at some points #I probably just made it jarring because it's difficult for me to keep up using the same language #As I don't know all that many... Old timey? Words #I still enjoyed it! Hope you guys do too?

Everyone's always so mad over unsolicited criticism but you know what makes me furious? Unsolicited comfort. Me simply not expressing myself the same way as you is not a sign that I'm depressed and in desperate need for you to come to my rescue, it is not an invitation for you to act like my one pillar of reliability or to act like my friend when you do not know my life, do not know wether I do have support, do not know I chose to be in this position you feel so uncomfortable looking at and on god you just don't get to pity me for living my fucking life the way I want to

#unsolicited advice is somewhere in the middle of these two that's not what I'm talking about #I'm just so bothered that some straight old lady on the boot besides mine kept treating me like a fucking child #because I was on my own #my father and my sibling were willing to help I just felt more comfortable doing sales on my own #cause I can't bounce between scripts that easy #and she kept talking down on me and once we left on the first day she said something like ''tomorrow will be better okay?'' #COMPLETELY UNPROMPTED and it's stuck in my mind so bad #someone else across from me also thought I was bummed out but one they were school kids trying to help and two THEY FUCKING ASKED #once they asked and I explained myself we continued to get along I thought it was sweet and they clearly were looking up to me #like on terms of art skill and such #it was very nice I thanked them before leaving and I assured them I was having fun but I'm just not from there and work differently #they said I was nice and asked for advice getting commission work from overseas #but the lady literally only babied me her son was also uncomfortably trying to make conversation as if I couldn't be left to my own devices #god it just makes me so mad! #I know how I look and I know me being cold in the first day didn't help my disposition be very energetic at all but gooood #who asked for life advice. not me you don't know what I'm doing with mine leave me alone #MEANWHILE that bearded dude who called the cat a dog??? Left while criticizing how I organized my shit #solid physical things I could adjust without too much effort and that would make it easier for customers #and you know what?? he left and I was thankful and Made those Adjustments because it had a clear reason why it affected him #and it made SENSE to fix it'd just improve quality of service #the guy came back later with his kids and he was super cool #anyway experiences experiences I am going to bite anyone who's that condescending to me again #Void fala aí #also i didn't know how to describe her ''old'' was probably incorrect she was your average karen age
