re: stress, cats (~) [spoiler: nothing actually happened; the cats are fine] 

@JulieSqveakaroo Thank you, this is all great advice! cc:ing @anthracite on this...

re: coopting somebody else's thread 

@Phorm if i can charm people with my lack of facial features, whimsical wobbly nodding, and vague squeaky gestures, IT STILL COUNTS -- dammit Science Fox, I know you took advanced math -- you know damn well the null set counts as an element!

re: coopting somebody else's thread 

@Austin_Dern @001zlnv Also, no offense, I gotta say the single best thing about the next-to-last Thundercats reboot was nerfing Snarf's sapience. XD

@Austin_Dern @001zlnv I was *just* short of calling the last option "pet voiced by Frank Welker" :p

reality, adulting, day job, health, ludicrous privilege (+) 

I don't have complete information yet, but my employers' open enrollment starts up in a week or two, and based on a quick skim of the documents...

I might be saving as much as $150/month on my health insurance if I switch over to their plan! PLUS I gain eyecare, PLUS I now have a method of getting insurance for Peg if Trump/SCOTUS fuck over the ACA.

There's one more potential source of stress, possibly out of my life. Three or four at once, actually.

@Soreth SEE I KNEW YOU'D GET IT

Also Richie Cunningham's brother Chuck, Na'Toth AND N'Grath, Yeoman Janice Rand, Brak's brother Sisto, ALL the Brady pets... and poor, poor Molly Collins. D:

@Soreth "The one that suddenly shows up halfway through, but everyone pretends to have heard of in order to hide the fact we're really just living in two episodes of a failed TV series clumsily stitched together?"

Huh. You'd think I'd be the opposite of that, "The One That Suddenly Stops Appearing Halfway Through But We Get An Impersonator In A Crappy Costume To Show Up Again At The End To Tie It Together," aka "The Bela."

re: coopting somebody else's thread 

@Soreth sorry about that, i had to get that one exactly right, and lyman isn't really technically in the same part of the "other guy" taxonomy as the rest

coopting somebody else's thread 

i have joined your adventuring party

which one of these am i

mood, cats 

kittens: *faintly unusual noise*

me: AAAAAAAAAA</tina_belcher>

kittens: *tiny mew*

me: AAAAAAAAAA</tina_belcher>

kittens: *silence*

me: AAAAAAAAAA</tina_belcher>

kittens: *perfectly competent initiate-level catting*

me: AAAAAAAAAA</tina_belcher>

kittens: *have a faint possibility of something terrible happening to them*

me: AAAAAAAAAA</tina_belcher>

kittens: *are profoundly likely to still be kittens, and much better at it, for the next year*

me: AAAAAAAAAA</tina_belcher>

kittens: *will most likely eventually be cats*

me:
AAAAAAwhew, okay</tina>

i just wanted to get ahead of the game and say, yes, i've seen the tiger seance XD

(*I know it's Mantecore and Montecore was apparently an early press error, but I just like Montecore better. And, you know, I'm from the 23rd century. Names drift, especially those of mythic heroes.)

kitten non-update, anxiety (~) 

mom is fine

peepers are fine

my brain however has made it quite clear that the only solution it will accept is internet-linked cameras in the nursery, monitored 24/7 by an international security team trained in both veterinary medicine and shaolin kung fu

update:

kittens are good

mama is good

auntie tigress is frazzled

i was not meant to care for another living being, i only have two care modes. one is "loving sarcasm" which is largely useless on cats and the other is "turbo fretting."

sports, media 

I don't care about this news item in the slightest except for being really amuse someone finally named something football-related "Fubo." Although I believe the proper spelling should be "Foobow."

You might as well name your streaming service "Sportsball." And if I had a few million dollars in investment capital, now that I think of it...

nasty people, violent thoughts, uspol, vent 

god i'd like to shoot a groyper

there are actually subsections of trump base i could forgive, and i don't think i could really bring myself to muster hatred let alone violence against all of them

but these smug memelord pieces of shit making the whole world like sixth-grade detention forever, they can just be escorted forcibly off the planet whenever is convenient. i can not WAIT for a bunch of them to discover civil insurrection is not like call of duty and get their asses handed to them.

random catmom pic, kitten health (+?) 

Sugarfoot seems a little bored and SUPER clingy (though that might just be a little feline gratitude, NO THAT IS NOT AN OXYMORON 🐯​), but she and the peepers are doing well.

One of them did do the little gaspy thing I was worried about the other day, but now that I expected it and am not already stressed over other things... yeah, they're probably just learnibg to hiss or mew or something.

They do it 3-4 times, it comes out as a little "huff, huff, huff" and then they are absolutely normal. They seem to breathe 100% comfortably otherwise, and they both seem strong and a little feisty. I can't tell yet if they're gaining weight but... yeah, I don't have much trouble believing they'll both have their eyes open within the week.

Thanks to friends and family, we have so many towels, blankets, and baby wipes right now. We are armed to the teeth with kitten-wiping equipment. Bast bless us all, I suspect we're gonna need it. This is really happening. 🙀​

re: halloween, plush "death" and reanimation 

I figure, what's the worst that can happen? We find out the new unicorn has a soul after all, we turn out to be the Bad Guys, and we get to find out what a plush unicorn Final Girl is capable of...

That sounds fucking awesome to be honest. And maybe we get a twist ending where Noelle's new body becomes a duplex and everybody gets along -- they are both unicorns after all...
