MY CHILDHOOD LOVE, WARRIOR CATS MY ONE AND ONLY
I MADE MY FIRST OC'S, SELF INSERTS, AND PERSONAS FOR THAT SERIES
WE WARRIOR'S FANS STAND TOGETHER IN OUR SEA OF BLOOD AND PILE OF BONE
oh BIG MOOD. i was obSESSED with warrior cats for AGES. like. lowkey baby's first true hyperfixation. i deVOURED those books. they were typically too expensive for my family to buy (esp coz there were SOO many of them) so every time a new one would come out i'd beg my mom to bring me to the bookstore and then i'd straight up just sit in the aisle and read the entire thing then and there.
warrior cats is definitely, like, a huge part of what truly got me into drawing/writing/storytelling. i used to dedicate hours to illustrating scenes from those books. i had four HUGE handmade posters up on my wall as a tween with each and every cat from each and every clan that i'd update as the allegiances changed in the books. i used to design 'warriorsonas' for each and every one of my classmates because i was a super normal child. warriors is how i got into roleplaying, which was definitely a huge influence on my writing-- i read in an interview when i was, like, 11 that the erins sometimes got inspiration for warrior names from roleplay sites, and i was like!!!!! omg i have to start roleplaying on roleplay sites so that one of my warrior names get into the books!!!!
(they never did lol)
but i still obSESSIVELY roleplayed online for YEARS, i'd draw all my characters and draw my friends' characters, too, and scenes from the rps. we'd all write PARAGRAPHS upon paragraphs with, like, proper grammar and everything (because at that age and in those circles, roleplaying *with actions in asteriks* and stuff was CRINGE and everyone KNEW that the LONGER you wrote the BETTER your writing was, obvs, and that was the only factor--) i spent, like, every waking moment on this massive chatroom-based site called kugyay that had, like, hundreds and thousands of users in its heyday. granted, like, most people had more than one account (so you could have a custom profile for each character, obvi) but i remember everyone freaked out when we hit more than 10,000 accounts.
i could talk about my experience with warrior cats and all my various ocs for... like.... ages. also like. this is random and won't mean anything to most people, esp coz i only posted, like, a few pages about it, but i also want y'all to know that this graphic novel that i desperately want to bring to life and do justice someday and that i've dedicated SOOO much time thinking about is... like....... 1000% inspired by/based on warrior cats lowkey. like. i am infected. forever and ever.

now come on we ALLL know johnny didn’t go his whole career with being in at least ONE porno. right??
like and you know he put up his best effort but also minimum because your watching HIM have sex, he’s gonna look good wether he tries to or not.
it’s deep underground locked in a cellar of a nuclear base, trust you won’t be getting it anytime soon 🙏🙏
okay im just gonna shitpost w this ask LMAO hear me out
[ masterlist ]
could you imagine like finding out on wikipedia that your bf johnny fucking cage had a brief adult movie phase, like money was TIGHT TIGHT just like him fr when he first got into the hollywood game and he ended up doing a full blown porno once back in the day
and you come up to him like "babe is it true that-" and his face is already GHOSTLY white. he prayed you wouldn't scroll down that far to see that tidbit, but you were nosy and he had a long list of weird shit he did during his career.
johnny noticing you're holding your phone, about to search "johnny cage porno leak," the literal last thing he wanted you to do. he'd jump from his spot on the couch and fly for your phone, something he wouldn't do in any other circumstance.
"i thought i had my lawyers wipe that from existence," he'd mutter, pocketing your phone. "you're not seeing that video."
he was so incredibly serious and thought that showing his dick to the entire world when he was younger was quite literally the dumbest thing he'd ever done.
of course, you found it anyway in your spare time because curiosity killed the cat but cage dick brought it back. your hand flies to your mouth as you play the obscene video, locking eyes with him in horror when he walks into the bedroom.
"YOU DID GAY PORN!?"
"I TOLD YOU NOT TO LOOK!!"

do you have any headcanons about kenstewy post-finale?
BOY DO I‼️‼️‼️ THANK U FOR ASKING STRAP IN
okay. in alignment with the shows values and characterization (as in, if we continued observing these characters post gojo sale), i think stewy would fully ignore kendall until he called. he might text him a couple times to make sure he was alive or whatever but he’s gonna be partying and living his best life. also, to stewy this is the best outcome ever. he gets his money (i don’t know enough about business to know if he stays on as a shareholder but either way i think he doesn’t lose anything from this. except for a few years of his life thanks to roy shenanigans) and KENDALL GETS OUT. which is what he asked him to do way back in season 1. stewys so happy and content post-finale literally cat that got the cream. AND he didn’t alienate kendall bc he still voted with him. anyways, kendall’s gonna ghost (schrödinger’s suicide) and go off the rails! for sure!! because this is not something he can come back from, there’s no more pretend demons to fight—logan’s dead and the company’s out of family hands forever there isn’t anything he can do. but colin is not letting another roy die on his watch no way so unfortunately for kendall he’s gonna live. and eventually he will find his way back to stewy and stewy will offer him sex drugs whatever to fill his time and the logan shaped hole inside of him. the end.
alternatively. NOT in alignment with jesse armstrongs vision. kendall goes to stewys place immediately after the events of the finale and becomes his best boyfriend whose new purpose is to make stewy feel good forever and ever and ever. they go on vacation and make pancakes and waffles and kissssssss. kendall and stewy sitting in a tree. k i s s i n g.
my personal headcanons include: they get caught out by paparazzi who have lots of fun speculating about them until they literally just start making out alll over the place which ppl r into for a very short period of time before they get annoyed. and then mostly nobody cares anymore except a subsection of insane gay people who wanna see old men yaoi as they should. i think kendall starts up a flop rap career which stewy wholeheartedly supports and indulges, and then he starts a record label and signs a billion flop acts but somehow lucks out with one really talented musician who manages to boost kendall’s reputation even though his job at the label is literally Do Not Do Anything Or Say Anything Or Touch Anything just let the professionals work Please. eventually a producer convinces him to record and release L to the OG which blows up. kendall records an album that’s mostly covers with some originals (that are actually kind of good) and goes on tour. the tour flops because he runs out of steam halfway through and becomes manic again but we can’t have it all. stewy is there the whole time enabling him of course.
also i wanna believe kendall would patch things up with his kids and they all hang out with him and stewy. my pipe dream headcanon is that sophie and iverson somehow become radicalized and vow to give away all their generational wealth and become nepo baby activists or whatever. all the roy children turn out to be gay. etc. this got away from me it was meant to be kenstewy whoops

Okay but now I need you to tell the best breakfast, lunch and dinner guy books you have read
Well, I should say that wildly enough enough soon after I made that comment about Leo Hathaway he literally told Catherine he must have her for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, sooooo
(He also proposed to her twice on the ride home lmao I forgot how many times he popped the question and she went "NO" or begged off lol.)
Ummmm otherwise:
Historicals:
Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas. While I think Leo edges him out, we do need to acknowledge that Sebastian is real into it. The scene where Evie literally wakes up to him heading down is so good, and of course there's the wall scene.
Suddenly You by Lisa Kleypas. Jack Devil literally adds strawberries to the menu. Which is very controversial among Kleypas readers, and people need to, ah, get over it. Grow up. Be an adult!!!
Scandalous Desires by Elizabeth Hoyt. Another wall "hold your skirts for me" scene that we don't discuss ENOUGH. Charming Mickey, dude! Thief of Shadows also has Winter learn about it for the first time as he is Untouched and be like "I SHALL CONQUER THIS" (he does).
Charlotte and The Seductive Spymaster by Grace Callaway. Grace heroes.... go for allllll of it. And I would say this hero ESPECIALLY. I mean, he's literally eating butter sauce off this woman. Glory and The Master of Shadows also has the amazing scene where Wei literally can't wait for it and does it while Glory's parents are within earshot.
Heartbreaker by Sarah MacLean. Clayborn is abooout iiiiit. He does a "good girl" during, he hops her on top of him, it's a good time.
When the Duke Was Wicked by Lorraine Heath. Rum on lips. Enough said.
The Duke Gets Even by Joanna Shupe. Lockwood.... may be outstandingly about it lol. At one point he's literally like "if I died doing this to her, I would die SO happy".
Something Fabulous by Alexis Hall. Feel this should be mentioned though it's m/m, because Valentine is OBSESSED after he sees someone else doing it to Bonnie (chill people, it's well before they get together) and he's OBSESSED with the idea of doing it after. It's like. The first thing he ever does ever and he compares Bonnie to a flower, which. Hysterical. Something Spectacular also has a great scene where Orfeo tells Peggy right before "now you're going to find out why I'm renowned throughout Europe". HOT.
Hotel of Secrets by Diana Biller has another virginal hero who learns this and like, is obsessed. I love him, he's so strict.
Lady Isabella's Scandalous Marriage by Jennifer Ashley. Mac literally does this to Isabella DURING breakfast.
When a Girl Loves an Earl by Elisa Braden. Has a variation you don't see enough of in historicals, so we're gonna include it.
The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes by Cat Sebastian. Marian isn't into p in v because of trauma. This... is not a problem for Rob.
Contemporary(ish):
Alll of the Kings of Italy heroes by Mila Finelli (including Alessio and Giulio in the m/m book) are super about it. SUPER. MAJORLY. Never forget Enzo D'Agostino being like "oh my god I hate her she's so annoying" while also loudly saying during "I LOVE IT" to her. He's crazy.
The Player by Kresley Cole. I should mention that not only is this hero one of the most obsessive heroes I've ever read... He literally did STUDIES to learn how to be as good at making her happy as he possibly could.
New Camelot by Sierra Simone. Ash and Embry are both into it, but Embry is REEEEEEALLY into it. Like, goes in after he's done into it. (And is juuuust as into doing it to Ash.) Which is so special.
The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood, should mention because even though there's only one love scene it's long and good and he does the "returning to the scene of the crime" thing, which you never see in contemporary trad romance lol.
Managed by Kristen Callihan. Scottie is very scent-focused. That's all.
Run Posy Run by Cate C. Wells I feel I should mention because he's NOT originally, but after he comes to super value her pleasure he REEEEALLY is.
The Princess Trap by Talia Hibbert. Hero literally has an oral fixation. May be the best example of this lol.
Preferential Treatment by Heather Guerre. Hero is super subby and as such, this is naturally a BIG DEAL to him. There's one scene... dude.
Fantasy:
Bound to the Battle God by Ruby Dixon. DUDE. DUDE. YOU WON'T EVEN BELIEEEVE. Carved into my brain, omg.
Consort of Fire by Kit Rocha. Ash has to keep not one but two women happy. He does this with enthusiasm.
Paranormal:
Should mention that all of the werewolves in Immortals After Dark consider this to basically be a sacred rite that is like, the BIGGEST deal in their culture, basically lol. They worship matehood and it's every little werewolf boy's dream to find his mate and do this to her (or them in general, Kresley's mating bonds are not only het).
Ummm there's a thing in Dark Desires After Dusk where Cade and Holly stop every however many miles on an important road trip so that he can do it to her on the hood of the car.
Lothaire is ABOUT IT. And there is a very famous scene involving it lol.
Thronos in Dark Skye is a controversial hero but he does, again, return to the scene of the crime.
Sci-fi:
Should be mentioned that all of Ruby Dixon's Ice Planet Barbarians are like, never happier than when they're getting this done.

"So who cares if I want to hang out with the lab "weirdo"?" would it be possible for you to write this?
Sooo...ahem. Apparently my fanfic department in my brain went on an extended holiday until now (about time, muses, it's already 2023!)
Anyway, some Tuggoffelees and some mute!Mistoffelees (and anthropomorphic cats edition, like some of my previous fics), with the university setting as in a few fics I'd done with this character set-up. Going with a geology class because a) I've been studying it at uni (doing a Masters in it) and b) I can imagine Misto being drawn in by the beauty of rocks and minerals.
---
If Tugger were to be honest with himself, the only reason he took that undergraduate introductory geology class was because of that cute, mute boy who never said a word in their classes. Jemima had mentioned him before as her new flatmate and how they had become tight besties from day one when he'd moved in over the summer; Mistoffelees--that was his name--was virtually mute but still expressed marvelously. Jemima had constantly gushed about how amazing he was at dancing and how fluid he was at every move, whipping her phone out at one point to show him--and it had been love at first sight. Tugger had been floored by the short videos and had asked if he might be in some of his classes. He was surprised when Jemima had mentioned that he was taking the same advanced performing arts classes as he, for he was positive he would’ve seen him. Nevertheless, Tugger had wasted no time in adding an undergrad geology class when Jemima had mentioned him taking one, though he had little interest in the subject.
He was likely to fail it, but hey, if it meant a chance...
"You're late again, Tugger."
The lead lab demonstrator's hawkish eyes landed on him the moment he stepped through the door, backpack slung over one shoulder, half-open to the point it was a miracle nothing had fallen out on the way.
Tugger leaned his hip against the doorway, winking and grinning at the disapproving demonstrator.
"I'm never late, always right on time."
The demonstrator tutted, rolled her eyes and jabbed a finger in the direction of a table with a lone student sitting there, hunched over his notes and lab book, looking deep in concentration, a rock balanced in one hand. An unopened, unused lab work sat in front of an empty chair next to the student, along with a large box of what looked like rocks.
They all look the same to me.
He glanced at the student, and then stared as he recognised the cute new flatmate of Jemima’s from her video clips and photos.
Tugger was sure that his heart rate was now triple its normal rate. Fate had seemed to favour him today!
Mistoffelees!
Throwing another wink, mouthing "thanks!" at the demonstrator (who had now turned her back on him), Tugger strode to the table, pulling out the empty chair and flopping down in it as dramatically as he could, dropping his backpack carelessly on the floor. The constant thrum of chatter and the occasional thunk from someone dropping a rock on a table didn’t appear to bother Mistoffelees at all.
"Hey," Tugger whispered by way of greeting, as he flipped the lab book in front of him open. "You must be Mistoffelees, huh?"
Mistoffelees paused to glance up for half a second at him then back down at his notes, but nodded in response, in the middle of sketching a careful drawing of the rock in his hand.His sketches looked so carefully done and not messy at all, with arrows drawn and labeled with steady fingers. Tugger caught himself staring at Mistoffelees’ fingers, marveling at how long they were.
He cleared his throat, both to get Mistoffelees’ attention and to snap himself out of it.
"My friend--your flatmate--Jemima has told me alll about you, you know." Tugger leaned back, hands clasped behind his head, completely ignoring the line of annoyance starting to form between Mistoffelees' eyebrows. "She showed me a clip of you dancing--damn. You're fabulous--I haven't seen anyone dance like you do!"
Mistoffelees’ sketching didn’t slow down any, but Tugger could have sworn up and down he saw a tug of a smile at the corner of the other’s mouth, the line between his eyebrows fading a little.
Tugger began flipping through the pages of the lab book, not really paying attention to whatever was written or drawn on the leaves.
“She told me you’re in the same advanced dance performing arts classes as me--but you couldn’t come along? Or...” Tugger caught his eye and winked. “You’re too good for us peasants right?”
Mistoffelees shook his head, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
“I was just kidding,” Tugger assured, but Mistoffelees only looked more confused before shrugging and returning to his work. “I’ll lose but I’m down for a dance off competition with you after class if you came along to them.”
Mistoffelees’ hand jerked, scrawling an unintentional line across a new sketch of a different rock. With a short sigh, he grabbed his eraser and rubbed vigorously at the paper to remove the scrawl. Was it Tugger’s imagination or did Mistoffelees’ shoulders appear more hunched, tensed? Or that his hand had momentarily quivered above the sketch before quickly resuming it like everything was fine?
Catching one of the demonstrators walking pointedly in his direction, Tugger reached forward and pulled his box of sample rocks toward him, picking one up in his hand like he had been studying it all along. It was a dark rock, it felt heavy, and it was...a rock. A short thumbs-up to the demonstrator to show he was definitely working was met with a skeptical look and then a shrug before moving on to someone else asking for help with a question.
Tugger flicked the pages until he found the intro page (so. Much. TEXT.) and began skimming over it, until he found a section explaining deeper about the three broad categories of rocks: sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic. His mind was wandering too much to really concentrate properly on them, drifting back off to the videos Jemima had shown him of Mistoffelees’ dance prowess. Those fouettes, those jetes, those arabesques! They were just...something else.And that...
That...
Conjuring Turn.
That’s what Jemima had said it was.
And he believed her when she said that the video did zero justice to that level of skill and talent.
A poke just above his elbow jerked him out of the daydream, turning his head see Mistoffelees looking at him with a hint of amusement in the slight upturn of the corners of his mouth.
“Hmm?”
Mistoffelees tapped his pencil against a blank page, where he had written, fave rock? You’re looking at it like it’s the love of your life.
A nervous laugh from Tugger, though it sounded a little strained to his own ears. “Uh, nah, rocks look the same to me.”
Mistoffelees raised an eyebrow, tilting his head as though to ask, really?
“I mean, not literally,” Tugger said, rubbing his thumb over the rock in his hand. “This one is clearly a black rock with, uh...” he pursed his lips, rubbing his chin as he scrutinised what else he could see about it. “Ooh, those are interesting patterns on its surface.”
Mistoffelees smiled, eyes lighting up in such a way it made Tugger’s heart miss about six or seven beats before pounding in his chest to catch up.
Damn. Jemima could’ve warned me how cute he is!
Tugger rubbed his thumb over the shell-like curves on the rock’s surface, feeling its tiny ridges on his skin. He didn’t care for rocks, but he wasn’t going to lie, this was a beautiful specimen.
A pencil tap on his hand drew his attention again to Mistoffelees, who pointed at more things written on the sheet.
Obsidian. Igneous. Minimal crystal growth due to fast cooling of extruded lava.  Conchoidal fracturing (shell-like). Pretty, isn’t it?
Tugger grinned. “It’s pretty, but not as pretty as your eyes right now.”
Mistoffelees’ eyes grew round at his response, pencil slipping from between his fingers as he fumbled with it, looking back down from Tugger after a second or two.
Does he know how his eyes light up with happiness?
He really needed to talk to Jemima about warning him beforehand of the cuteness of her flatmates in future.
“Jemima tells me you love rocks. I never got it but...”
Then why? Were the next two words from Mistoffelees. Why are you here?
Tugger shrugged. “Just needed an extra class, I guess.”
Like he was going to tell Mistoffelees it was just because he wanted to be closer to him. Maybe one day he’ll tell him that, but certainly not right now. He didn’t want to scare Mistoffelees off before the lab was even over.
Tossing the obsidian back into the sample box, Tugger picked up another rock, one that was tan in colour and had a couple very tiny shells in it. It felt sandy against his palm and under his thumb.
“I imagine you know what this one is too?”
He watched Mistoffelees’ hand writing across the page, recalling again how graceful his hands had looked in Jemima’s videos.
Sandstone. Sedimentary. Feldspar and quartz very common in this rock. Formed over millions of years by compaction.
“Oh yeah, quartz,” Tugger recalled from whatever he had skimmed over in the lab book. “Silicon or something, right?”
SiO2.
He also randomly remembered another snatch of information from the previous class.
“Wait...isn’t sandstone the only rock that has fossils?”
Mistoffelees shook his head, before quickly writing again.
Sedimentary rocks, including sandstone. All sedimentary rocks can contain fossils.
Tugger pointed at one of the tiny shells embedded in the rock. “So this dude here is a fossil?”
A nod from Mistoffelees, who was now smiling a little, eyes lighting up again as they had before. Again, Tugger’s heart skipped a beat when they made eye contact--even if it was only for a split second before Mistoffelees quickly looked away and back down at his own work.
He’s so...adorable? Cute? Um? Jemima, we’re gonna talk.
Tugger tried to force his brain to focus on the lab at hand as Mistoffelees pointedly busied himself with answering more lab questions, but it was hard. Hard to focus when it was so sunny outside, when he kept thinking about the dance videos on Jemima’s phone, considering if he should go ahead and ask for Misto’s number after lab, and--
“Ahem.”
A handed padded its way onto the lab-book, drawing his attention up to another girl who he didn’t know, looking intently at him.
“Hey,” she said, jerking a thumb back at her table, “Why’re you hanging out with this weirdo? Wouldn’t you rather sit with us?”
Did she just...call Mistoffelees...a weirdo? What is this, high-school again?
“What’d you call Mistoffelees?”
The girl scoffed. “He’s a weirdo, he never talks, never makes eye contact with you,” 
Tugger remembered Jemima saying that Mistoffelees had autism, and that it was natural for him to avoid eye contact or want some space, and he was also pretty much mute.
“Neurodivergency exists you know,” Tugger said airily, “And who cares if I want to hang out with the lab “weirdo”? It’s not high-school anymore.”
“Really?” the girl looked disappointed. “I thought you’d like--”
“Thanks but no thanks. I’m fine here. He knows lots of cool things about rocks, and he’s my bestie’s flatmate. I don’t think she’d appreciate you calling him names either.”
“Fine, I give up then.”
With that, the girl flounced off back to her own group.
See you never.
He felt Mistoffelees staring at him, the sounds of the pencil scratching on paper having come to a complete silence. When Tugger looked over at him with a wink, the other quickly looked down at his lab book,
“Don’t worry about her--I’ve got your back. As does Jemima.”
Thanks, but you didn’t have to. I’m used to it.
“Doesn’t make it okay, y’know? You’re worth so much more--bet she can’t even tell a fouette from a pirouette. Hell, she’s probably never heard of either of those terms. Kinda sound like pastries now I think about it. French pastries, naturally.”
Now I’m hungry, Mistoffelees wrote.
“You’re welcome.” Tugger winked. “And you’re welcome to sit with me if you ever wanted to come to the advanced dance class too you know. I wouldn’t mind having you for company.”
Thanks. I’ll see.
“Just think about it. It’d be cool to see you there too. I promise not to annoy you...” Tugger added a little laugh before, “Much.”
I’d like to get back to study. Leave me be.
“Oh yeah, course.” Tugger looked back down at the huge blocks of words. To his brain it just seemed like a wall of text. He sorely wished there was a TL;DR summary or something in a box at the bottom of the page.
And, again, his brain wandered back to those dazzling videos.
The fouettes, the pirouettes, the arabesques, the grande plies...
So perfect, so flawless, so...magical. Graceful. Phenomenal. Stunning. Mystical.
I really, really hope I see him in advanced dance class soon...
If all those videos of his dance, the way his eyes shone when “talking” about rocks, and just how adorable he looked...
If this wasn’t love at first sight, well...then Tugger had no clue what that would be instead.
Look out, Jemima, I’ll be talking your ears off asking about Mistoffelees tonight. And about how you should’ve warned me on how cute he is. He is impossibly cute and talented.
He really really hoped more than ever to see him in the next advanced dance class tomorrow afternoon, just so he could see Mistoffelees’ dance moves in real life, and not “just” from videos on Jemima’s phone.
If he’s amazing in her videos, what is he like in real life? Beyond perfect, probably.
And Tugger would no doubt fall even more in love with him.

Tumblr media
he sends you pictures of cats he spots outside and expects you to do the same in return. assuming you aren't horribly allergic or something he might ask for your thoughts on getting a cat...you know ... as a hypothetical...
appreciates you not caring about his height. he'll usually be on the more aggressive side when someone (lev) comments on it but he gets a little more sensitive if you're around. it means a lot if/when you defend and compliment him
likes getting audio messages. likes hearing about drama. will type out his reactions to everything and knows probably too much about relationships between people he doesn't know. he tells you about practice in exchange though he doesn't think it's Usually as entertaining
keeps something that reminds him of you in his wallet. whether it's a photo of you or a sticky note you've written for him ! accidentally handed it to the cashier once and panicked so hard he almost yelled LOL

this was originally a twitter thread but mehhhh. the audience of one-two here get my insane venting instead. its 3am. I've had a rough day and I just want to list it out from worst to least worst. sorry if this is venting. again 3am. 1: my sister showed up completely unannounced, and waltzed in a fight with my other sister and her husband at their place. she had good reason to be here (she's homeless and is a fuckin ice age here. that's not a problem. we are glad she went to us for help.)-sadly she's an entitled fuck who begged my dad for cigs when we have NOTHING BUT A ROOF to give. its SCARY how poor we are. She was also VERY TRANSPHOBIC, which was not on my sister's bingo card this year. mainly about trans woman and their "complaining". my already shit sister saying terf shit was not smth i thought id hear. i was very upset about that. i haven't talked to her bc ik if i do, il cry but I've been giving her the silent treatment unless it's akward. 2: i have covid. had symptoms since like the 13th (i joked that i got it for my birthday) and its been a nightmare. i can't sleep. Eating sucks. my nose hurts. i think i blew a blood vessel in my eye. its just been the worst. 3: due to being unable to sleep, im wildly manic at 3am. i have nothing to do and no one to talk to. and im unreasonably upset that people on tiktok think Spongebob is a kid. like boi your face screams "post movie" pleaaasseee educate yourself on cartoon history. he is an adult! 4: after ALLL of this like 7 mins ago, the fire alarm randomly beeped a few times. luckily not a lot but still. stressed me the FUCK OUT. nothing is on. i think bc its the FUCKIN ICE AGE OUTSIDE, the apartment is a TAD too warm (witch its not. my feet are frozen)
5: found out today that scientists didn't start using real menstrual blood on pads/tampons till AUGUST OF LAST YEAR??? WTF WERE U USING BEFORE? That's why pads are always off SOMEHOW. SOMEHOW there's an issue. and tampons never fit right. they have been fuckin guessin for decades 6: my new cat is a needy hoe. I'm used to it but with covid and barely being able to walk/exist, her sweving between my legs is a nightmare. I always have to throw a bottle cap down the hallway just so she doesn't get in my room. 7: been on upsetting media tiktok. why the fuck is there a fandom forming around a vent cartoon about S/A???? like I won't say its bad but that's not a FANDOM THING! yall are fucked up (also it parodies the peewee's playhouse op and that bugs me. i love peewee.)
interlude: my needy hoe of a cat is named peewee (well to my mom, it's now Princess Pipsqueak but thats not a good name to say in frustration as I'm trying to exist down the hallway. also, we thought she was a boi at first and she has a face that looks like paul Reubens's. I still see it. 8: I have used up all the TP and tissues in the house and have been using paper towels to blow my nose, which is roughing up my already red sore nose. I put gold bond on my nose and it BURNED but now it feels smoother. 9: i feel like i annoy people with my Hannibal hyperfixation. i have yet to truly let it spread here but it's EVERYWHERE ELSE. (and il probs reblog this onto my hannibal blog so hiiiii) and yet it feels like no one cares. ik it's a bit niche, upsetting not everyones thing but Ive NEVER loved smth more and it hurts when i don't talk about it I just. want to get someone into it. someone else got me into it and it means a lot. I hope they are doing ok. I'm grateful they gave me my favorite hyperfixation ever. I've littrally never loved anything more. and I've been into a LOT of stuff. i was called annoying by an ex friend because i got into things too much. and to them, "too much" was anything that wasn't "i like this thing. i think this thing is good and cool. lets rp weird incest about it." (i hate my teen years) but like. that ex friend would HAAAAATE by hyperfixatiing now. i have friends to ENABLE ME NOW. 10: just added this one. kinda put two and two together that corp vtubers birthdays most likely aren't their real birthdays. everyone is celebrating a graduated corps bday and yet they moved to another company and like. no birthday in sight. and it feels weird to latch onto their old persona's bday when they are right there with probs a new (and more real maybe) birthday. you can actually go celebrate with them whenever their "new" birthday is and yet you are clinging to the past. especially since they are THRIVING where they are rn and were not happy as a bigger corp.
thats a bout it. thanks if u saw this and read. its ok if you didnt. i just had a LOT go on lately.

8, 27, 30 😎
8. What's an old project idea that you've lost interest in
i can't think of anything big or recent that i lost alll interest in, even for things i haven't touched in a long time i still say to myself one day i'll finish that...... i sure hope so, one of these would be all those weirdly armored knights i started making, i still have a ton of unfinished sketches i refuse to archive 😅
27. Do you warm up before getting to the good stuff? If so, what is it you draw to warm up with
yes! i always do it, generally i just make a ton of shapeless squiggles and some odd looking cats and people
like these
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I also like warming up on paper instead of my tablet, it's more comfortable
30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated
i'm not sure what i'd call underrated, more that I'm always baffled at how different audiences give me totally opposite results, my ink drawings like those business cat and dog were sold immediately as originals when i was at an art fair, but they did not make numbers in social media, i was expecting them to do better lol

omgiee angie hello hello hehe , yoichi won’t stop pestering mi abt askin’ you abt rinnie so i had tew stop by ‘n ask how you ‘n rinnie met ! tell me alll da details my luv ૮꒰ ྀི >⸝⸝⸝< ྀི꒱ა OH ‘n i must ask what’s ur ideal date , ‘n do you and him go on dates often ? (we should v much do double dates even tho yoichi finks they’re cringe but who cares !)
kayla , hello babie <3 thank you so much for dropping by, say hi to yoichi for me :3 rin will NEVER admin it but i know he wonders how he's doing ૮꒰๑´ ᵕˋ๑꒱ა
me and rinnie met at a mutual friend's party - i actually thought he was super stuck-up, he thought i was obnoxious </3 we didn't even exchange information the first time we were introduced. we don't like using that word too much but it feels like fate sometimes of how we really met ໒꒰ྀིっ˕ -。꒱ྀི১ we kept running into each other in the most random places: my favorite coffee shop (he claimed it was his favorite too - i'd never seen him there before); in the grocery store; random restaurant we both dined in at the same time.
soon it turned almost into an anticipation - where will we see each other next? i think this little game of cat and mouse excited us. he finally asked me out not too long ago and we made it official soon after ૮꒰⸝⸝> <⸝⸝꒱ა it turns out rin itoshi is a big baby when he's in love <33

Goosefeather x sagewhisker t4t manlet and tall wife writing prmopt

also I think that u and the romance arc u had in my comments section was beautiful 11/10 :)))/j polyam leafpool isn’t the bane of my existence not all alll/j /lh
anywayz cw for nightmares it’s a little spooky
Hulking, contorting creatures blotted Goosefeather’s view. They shrieked and hissed, writhing around in the pitch black sky. Before long, They slowly disappeared into the darkness, clunking heavy round paws against the floor. At every corner there was a strange, unfamiliar cat, acting out some sort of scenario. There was a ginger tom engulfed in flames, a scarlet soaked tabby with a stake through his heart, a badger looming over the bleeding body of dark gray she-cat, all things Goosefeather had no context for. 
What did they all mean? How could he use any of this information for anything? Goosefeather turned away and ran hard, his paws skidding against the ground. Then he realized he wasn’t running on the ground at all. He was in a black void, images of events yet to come swirling around his feeble pelt. They crowded against his head, begging to be listened to. The noise boomed inside of the medicine cat’s skull, curling around his brain, and stabbing it agonizingly. Goosefeather howled in pain and terror, but when he swiped at the figures, his claws cut through their forms like mist. He couldn’t make them go away. He was powerless. He cupped his trembling paws over his ears, but the sounds slipped through the cracks. They sounded even more outraged. The noise reached a terrifying crescendo and Goosefeather screeched. 
“STOP!” 
Goosefeather’s eyes shot wide open and he wheezed out a shaking breath. The other medicine cats were still sound asleep, beside him. None of them looked to be having terrible dreams, they all looked completely at ease. It was only him. The ThunderClan healer sat up, his breaths coming in short bursts. Oh StarClan, why? Why are you doing this to me, specifically? Goosefeather wailed internally, knowing he would never get a reasonable response. I can’t do anything about my visions, what’s the point of sending them to me? Old anger bubbled beneath his pelt and he felt his fur begin to rise. 
He squinted as he turned to the Moonstone, the bright light dazzling his bleary eyes. He imagined it collapsing into a pile of rubble, its glow fading and reducing the cave to pitch black darkness. Well not complete darkness, Goosefeather thought spitefully, staring up at the ceiling hole above. The stars glittered coldy in the cloudless night sky. Moonlight seeped through the opening, and down into the cramped cave. Even if the Moonstone was gone, StarClan would still find a way to slip a sign into his normal life. It had happened before. 
They would always be watching him. He could never truly run from the star’s foul, vigilant gaze. Eyes would always prick his pelt, his paw steps would always have been foretold, and every hair on his pelt wasn’t his. 
He was the heaven’s plaything. 
Goosefeather wanted to implode in frustration. He wanted to march right up to whoever ran the rat-pit that was StarClan, and demand why he had been cursed.  Why he had to live like this, drowning in visions, when every other healer only got a dose of it. 
Why me? Why me? Why me?
Goosefeather tore at the floor beneath him, but there was nothing to shred, only cold, scuffed stone. His claws scraped painfully against rock as he rapidly flailed his arms, struggling to hold back his enraged hisses. 
After he got tired of that, Goosefeather sank to the ground defeatedly. He wanted to go home and curl up in his nest, but he had to wait for his apprentice, Featherwhisker. The tom was sleeping a few tail lengths away from him, his young face peacefully still. A pang of jealousy jabbed at Goosefeather’s heart as he glared at his snoozing form. 
Why cant I be like that? Why can’t I have normal dreams? He swallowed, trying to bury the feelings of envy towards his apprentice’s good fortune. 
It’s not his fault, StarClan doesn’t hate him. 
Goosefeather let out a hoarse sigh, and buried his face into his paws. His eyes watered and hot tears rolled down his cheeks, dampening the gray fur on his face. Little gutteral animal-like noises erupted from his mouth, and he pressed his paws over it, trying to keep quiet. He sobbed into his pads, his whole face contorting into an ugly cry. Eventually, the noises died down in volume, though his throat burned painfully from the outburst. He rubbed his paws at his face, trying to wipe away the tears and snot. I’m acting like such a fussy kit! He chided himself, though he kept on whimpering. 
“Goose?” A low, confused voice sounded from his left side. Goosefeather looked up with a sniffle. 
Sagewhisker, the ShadowClan medicine cat, was sitting up in her spot, her yellow eyes blinking as she adjusted to being awake. She was Goosefeather’s romantic partner, his mate. A tiny inkling of warmth stirred inside of Goosefeather’s belly. She stood up and padded over to him, her long limbs gracefully stepping around several of her slumbering companions. Her white fur glowed under the Moonstone’s light, making her look ghostly. Goosefeather shivered and tucked his paws beneath himself, blinking away the last of his tears. 
Sagewhisker curled up next to him, reaching out a sleek white paw. 
“Oh Goose, why are you awake? Did you have more visions?” 
“Isn’t it obvious? When don’t I have more visions!” Goosefeather grunted, flicking his tail irritably. Sagewhisker was silent for a moment, her ears twitching in response to his abrasiveness. Her paw lingered uncertainly in the air. A wave of piercing shame ran through Goosefeather’s pelt. 
“I-I’m sorry.” He meowed in a quieter tone, ducking his head. “I’m not over it still.” Sagewhisker’s eyes filled with warmth. 
“You don’t have to be. I understand.” She meowed softly, placing her paw on his shoulder. 
“Do you want to tell me about it?” 
Goosefeather shifted in place for few heartbeats before nodding silently.
 “Okay.”
He inched closer to her, and leaned over to press against her pelt. She shifted her position, making it so Goosefeather could rest his head on her flank while she craned her neck to face him. Goosefeather felt immensely comforted by her presence. She was real and infallible. Sagewhisker wouldn’t harm or terrorize him. He was safe, even just for a moment. Goosefeather sucked in a laborious breath. He started telling his partner all about the wretched dream he had bore witness to. The visions of cats yet to be born. The awful noise of their stories  pounding inside his skull. The endless, dark void he thought he would never escape from. Sagewhisker listened patiently, her expression calm as he spilled out his woes.
“I don’t know why StarClan keeps sending me these awful nightmares! I can’t even do anything about it! No one will listen to me, and Cloudberry taught me to not meddle with fate! As if she knew anything about it!” Foam flecked at the corners of Goosefeather’s mouth as he ranted. Sagewhisker rasped her tongue soothingly behind his ears, nodding quietly. Goosefeather sniffled, pressing his head harder against his mate’s flank. 
“I don’t know what to do, Sagewhisker. The visions won’t stop. I can’t control them. Everywhere I turn, it’s foul omen after foul omen. I scare my clanmates. Even my own sister.” Goosefeather swallowed painfully, his eyes beginning to water once more. 
“I’m going to live like this forever.” 
Sagewhisker stopped licking the back of his ears. Her expression was steely as she looked down at him with her marigold-yellow eyes. 
“I’m so sorry, Goosefeather. You don’t deserve StarClan’s ire one bit. Whichever gaggle of spirit cats decided to give you this gift are bat-blind, and just as foolish in death as they probably were in life.” Her expression hardened with anger. 
“If they keep sending you these dreadful messages, I think you should have some sort of plan for calming down after the ordeal.“ 
Goosefeather tipped his head. “Like what?”
“Take deep, slow breaths after you see something. Don’t let it get a hold of and consume you. Another thing I’ve found that can distract you, is clawing pictures into the dirt. I know it sounds kit-like, but it’s helped me before. It takes your mind off things for a good while. Maybe chew on some honeycomb or drink moss water mixed with chamomile too, I’ve heard it’s good for unwinding. You could even ask Featherwhisker to help you get some. Or take a stroll in the forest and find it yourself. It sounds simple but, a good walk can really help clear your head.” 
Goosefeather blinked, feeling a smidge skeptical. “Are you sure those will work? I don’t know…” Goosefeather trailed off with a huff. Sagewhisker laid her tail gently on his spine. 
“Listen, why don’t you meet me at the ShadowClan border two sunrises from now? I can show you how to do all of these things. We can even test out other strategies. I know it can be daunting, believe me. I know. But it’s important to get into at least one of these habits so the stress doesn’t overwhelm you. StarClan can’t disappear, but we can find methods to help you accommodate and cope.” Sagewhisker nudged Goosefeather’s forehead with her muzzle. 
“Okay, I don’t see why not.” Goosefeather said in a gruff voice. “But you’ll help me with everything, right?” Sagewhisker nodded. “I will, I promise.” Goosefeather twitched his tail approvingly, but then he felt his face fall. 
“What about my clanmates? And my sibling, Moonflower?” Goosefeather’s voice began to tremble again. “They hate me.”
Sagewhisker’s eyes rounded. Goosefeather readied himself for more uplifting encouragement, but a snarl escaped the white she-cat’s jaws. “Then they are toad-brained crow-food eaters. How dare, they shun you without even bothering to listen to what you have to say? You’re the medicine cat for a reason! You’re a skilled healer, yet they all can’t see that past the bridge of their noses. I’m sorry about your sister, perhaps there’s still a chance to mend things with her, but the others… If they dislike you, than that’s on them. I know you, Goosefeather. Quite well. It’s a shame they don’t want to too.” 
Goosefeather felt his skin burn beneath his pelt,  jolts of surprise poking at his body. He twisted his head around to stare at Sagewhisker, who was huffing. She took a deep breath and let it out through her nose. After a minute, she looked back at Goosefeather, her shiny yellow eyes gleaming. 
“Anything you need, Goose, I’m there. I’m not going anywhere, okay? I’ll always be a border away.” 
“Okay.” Goosefeather mumbled, his voice trembling with barely contained emotion.  Feeling as if the metaphorical clouds had cleared, he meowed quietly. “Thanks.” 
Sagewhisker touched her pink nose to his cheek. “Anytime. I care about you, Goosefeather. A lot. I want you to remember that.”
Goosefeather’s chest warmed and he pressed his muzzle into her fur affectionately. Gratitude and love for his mate swept through his body, flooding it with the first overload of positive emotion he had felt in weeks. “I know.” A weak purr rumbled in his throat. “I do too.” 
Sagewhisker brushed her thin muzzle along the side of his face. Goosefeather closed his eyes, trying to drink in as much of the moment as he could. He was safe and happy right now. Sagewhisker, the cat whom he loved dearly, was nuzzling him fondly. 
No visions, no spirit cats, no terrible things beyond his comprehension were plaguing his mind right now. Only comfort and genuine love. The warm, fuzzy thoughts bounced around inside his brain. It would keep him occupied, but only a for bit. He knew he would spiral again soon. But the thought was slightly less terrifying. At the end of the day, he would be reassured of one fact. He would always have someone in his corner that would help and support him; Sagewhisker. 
The ThunderClan medicine cat felt himself smile as Sagewhisker rested her head overtop his.  The warm weight made him feel like a kit again, bundled up in the nursery in piles of cozy moss. Goosefeather blinked, a strange feeling of bliss overtaking his senses for a heartbeat. His eyes darted toward the Moonstone. It seemed to burn even more brightly than before, and he squinted at the harsh glare. The light was seeming to rise in brilliance, though the moonlight wasn’t increasing; the glow within the stone itself was. Goosefeather blinked. When he opened his eyes, the excess rays and shine were gone. It looked normal again.
 Goosefeather felt like he had been drenched in ice-cold water. 
He turned away and buried his face into Sagewhisker’s neck fur, making her meow softly in surprise. Joke’s on you, STARCLAN. I’m going to keep being mates with her, no matter what you say. She’s cared for me more than you fox-hearts have. We’re happy together, and you can’t change that. I won’t let you. You can send me all the omens in the world, but I won’t let you ruin this for me!
Sagewhisker’s muzzle brushed his ear. 
“Are you alright, dear?”
Goosefeather looked up at her with a crooked smile.
“I’m more than alright, Sage. Thank you.” He pressed his snout back into her moss-soft pelt, making her purr. 
Don’t touch a hair on my pelt, StarClan, they all belong to Sagewhisker now.
