I’m a big fan of Durge having some more animalistic qualities, regardless of race, like fangs meant to tear or a real, inhuman growl. But ya know what? I’m also a big fan of this vicious Bhaalspawn being able to purr. Maybe not like a house cat. Maybe it’s a deep, rumbling sound that comes out with a contented sigh. Either way, it’s a shock to Durge when one day it happens for the first time, the Chosen of Bane’s fingers carding through their hair.
What could That Sound possibly be? It wasn’t a growl. But if it wasn’t a growl, what could it be? The Dark Urge is no house cat! But Gortash knows exactly what it was, and he makes it his life’s goal to make it happen more often. He’ll tease Durge at first, justify his efforts to himself by claiming to exemplify how he has subdued even the Bhaalspawn. In reality, it means Gortash spends copious amounts of time pampering and doting on Durge until it becomes too obvious he just thinks it’s cute, a proud smile and a bit of color coming to his plaid cheeks every time he succeeds.
Fun tidbit that will b relevant in future (it was, in reality, not fine) chapters! Reader has a cat! Sort of! She’s still like 80% feral but reader loves and supports Miss Peepers anyway <3
Another fun tidbit: Sun and Moon absolutely positively Love this small angry creature that has the personality of a rusty chainsaw and there is Absolutely Nothing she can do to change that <3 <3 <3
that feeling when you need to purr/growl and its at the top of your throat threatening to spill out but youre in a situation/place where nonhuman sounds would not be appropriate so you just have to uncomfortably swallow them down 🥲
Cat hybrids twins headcanon is my favorite not only because cats are super cute and awesome but also because I adore the mental image of them purring in satisfaction or joy while threatening or killing people
unpopular opinion I guess but I don’t think Na’vi purr actually
don’t get me wrong I love a good purr, but true purring is a very specific thing that requires specific anatomical abilities and despite their catlike aesthetic we don’t have any reason to assume that the Na’vi have such an ability
even working around the anatomy thing with pseudo-purring/“pleasure growling” like I headcanon for ToA trolls doesn’t really quite fit because unlike trolls Na’vi simply don’t seem to make those types of sounds. They hiss, yes, but they don’t really growl or roar or make any sort of those deep rumbly noises that could be adapted into a “purr”
idk man, I guess as much as I can understand the appeal of nonhuman characters that purr, in this particular case it just feels a little unnecessary to me to assume that they do it just because they look vaguely feline despite having no examples of them actually making that kind of sound
Serious question. Which of all your Sun's, Moon's and Eclipse's CANNOT purr
All my monster boys in Lack of Light don't purr! Cave Creature!Sun warbles, Shadow Monster!Eclipse whispers like the wind and Mothman!Moon buzzes, but no purrs!
