SO-8: THAT POOR DAMN CAT DESERVED A CAKE!
If there's a lot of engagement on this, this post is liable to get real long, beware before you expand.
Welcome to the Engagement Lounge, for Allegretto non Troppo (SO-8) an instalment! Short comments can go in the replies, but there's a 475 character limit. Longer ones will need a reblog. Remember to @asksoldieron if you're reblogging someone else's reblog, so I can see it too!
I am, of course, referencing this blameless little angel from Italy's answer to Fantasia.
JUST LET HIM HAVE A CAKE! FOR FUCK'S SAKE, HE'S APPARENTLY DEAD ANYWAY - WHAT DID HE DO TO DESERVE THIS?? *ahem* This almost got me to cry the first time I saw it, and I am not one to cry when I know someone is trying to wring tears out of me.
So there. I fixed it. I saved the cat, as one does. Misha gets bacon and tuna and he probably likes that better than cake. Still, we're missing a whole lot of people and we're not sure what they got.
"Allegretto non Troppo" as a musical direction, would mean "Very Happily but Not Too Much," which is rather nonsensical, but Ann often is too. I had this instalment in mind when I did my first Art Deco-style test...
...just to see if I could. As-written, Ann has a plate of sandwiches and she's wearing a coat, but that was too complicated for a proof of concept. And that's why the art looks like this now! I dunno what I'm going to do with Tin Soldier, but Soldier On is coming to you in colour!
Misha's rendered as a bit more cartoon-like in this instance, so as to resemble his predecessor. White cats with one blue eye are deaf on the blue-eyed side, so that's another broken, traumatized creature with a weird eye for us to fawn over and pet. Erik will be thrilled to meet him! Eventually.
I'm producing art and formatted posts in advance, so I can take some time to recover from an upcoming eye surgery and still get you instalments every week. I want that 12-pack, but I might have to content myself with six, and a break in the middle. It all depends on how long I take to heal, and how well I can see up close in the near future. I've done almost three illustrations in the last three days. I want to do eight before I gotta quit, but five will do it if I can't quite manage that.
My eyes are performing like goddamn champions, lemme tell ya. I hyperfocus and I do not let them rest like I should - but they're not hurting or going out of whack! When I'm tired, only when I'm tired and reading up close, the left one wanders off and doubles my vision like it always has. And that's like nothing! The other day, browsing through a nearby rural area with Google Street View and the fish-eye effect did not make me carsick. Maybe one of these days here I'll try playing Thief!

[Reaction to this post] Lief belongs to @ask-team-misfit
That stung, it really did. Lief's words cut deep, of all the things that he was insecure about that one was the worst one of all and he chose to mercilessly jab at it. He didn't want to talk to him anymore, he didn't want to see him or even be near him. Yet he was still all too unaware when the Pokemon had already walked off.
"Sirius? Hey." Earendel nervously circled around, trying their best to draw the Meowstic's attention back to them.
"They're clearly having some issues that they need to work out, it's not your fault. You didn't do anything wrong, You weren't the one saying mean things. They were." Despite their best attempts to comfort him, they knew it wasn't helping. He was just staring off, the same hurt expression lingering on his face.
"Sirius. Listen to me. Really listen to me."
"You didn't do anything wrong." They said a bit more sternly, "I know what you're thinking and it's not your fault. Stop blaming yourself for other people's mistakes. That guy was a train wreck." He however only looked away, not saying much more.
The Jirachi gave a sigh in reply, they really weren't expecting their sibling to become this upset during an event, especially one as calm as this. "Okay. Okay..."
"Let's calm down first... and if you're still feeling bad we can just go home." They smiled while gently nudging their sibling towards the direction of their mother. "After that, I'm not going to make you stay here any longer than you want to, it's not worth it..."
"Especially with that Pokemon around here."
→ Sirius' thoughts on Lief have been updated. Lief has also been added to Earendel's relationship page.
→ Sirius will remain in his Pokemon form, Earendel likely will not.

My mom hurt Alley. Alley needs ear drops for an infection, and my mom freakin’ dug the bottle deep into her ear. That’s a big fucking no! My poor girl! Like, that’s IDIOTIC. Why would you do that. Will discuss with @evilwriter37 about taking over this responsibility. I can’t trust my mom with Alley anymore. She hurts her, and makes her sick with her fucking idiocy. Unacceptable.

happy 2024!
it's been a hot minute. sorry for the hiatus!
for context, the master's is beating me and constantly stealing my lunch money 😭
i will be soon free for two weeks (if i'm lucky), and i intend to use those weeks to work on the giveaway fics.
moreover, i may scrap some requests, as they do not spark interest in me. i admit i used to accept a lot of requests in the past, even if i was not interested in them.
i will update the fic wips/requests list on sunday.

i miss maureen i wanna buy her all the cheesy cat shirts that stay stuff like "tacocat spelled backwards is Still TACOCAT" and "you're Purrrrrfect~" :(
ohhh anon I love you
i want to buy her socks with cat paws on the bottom. and cheesy calendars with cats dressed up as various obscure and outdated celebrities for every month. and kitschy little sleeping ceramic cats that she can line up on her windowsill.
want to buy her bootleg grumpy cat merch from ebay and send her silly cat videos and facebook memes everyday.
she's probably prancing around in cat heaven having the time of her life </3
