Back on my bullshit

me: I will come to Thanksgiving so I can drop the Big Trip announcement in a relatively public zone and thus avoid Big Drama
also me: cannot find a valid way to bring it up

 

hey can I stop being scheduled for pointless shifts plzkthnx

 

today's mood: "finished a longfic, give me something else big and juicy"

 

research tangent: does doe or mare urine contain more estrogen
the answer is: either I need to refine my search somehow, or shockingly no one has done this research

 

there's a fucking Basshunter song in my store's radio list and I don't know how to feel about that
or about the fact that I suspected this from hearing a single riff

 

when you go through a list of fic recs and hardly any of them are up to your incredibly picky standards

 

Spoiler: pokemon swsh

FUCK professor, hop deserves to be a pokemon ranger

 

me, desperately rattling every patch of grass on RT 2: WHERE PAKIGE LOTAD

 

looking like we really are gonna have to re-home miah. this is the third time this week she's gone after one of the others with real intent to injure and it's usually the blind idiot who can't and won't fight back, and we just don't have the space to give her a permanent solo cage :/

 

in a timeline where samahl doesn't yeet himself into tamriel he probably ends up with solas' vanishing army
hm

 

samahl, stealing a dead friend's name so The Warden isn't at skyhold: yeah hi I'm Fenarel
Solas, choking: u wot m8

 

@ future me if we like whichever we end up getting, A Shopping List

Flower Power (honeysuckle, rose, sunflower, meadowsweet), Peng (rosewood, sandalwood, litsea cubeba), Turtle (cypress, sandalwood, pine), Intergalactic (peppermint, cedar, grapefruit, vetiver), Kitsune (patchouli, cedar, mandarin orange), and Guardian Of The Forest (cypress, lime, oakmoss, rosewood)

 

Spoiler: Bird Yelling

then why???? did you get????? a fucking roo???????? they exist specifically to warn outdoor hens about predators???????

 

samahl, rifling through the pockets of a guy who just tried to knife him in an alleyway: oh thank fuck you've got elfroot, gimme

 

samahl isn't necessarily touch-starved? but he's naturally a v tactile boi and he's not getting as much fulfillment there as he's used to during the Blight, so rip zev you've gotten attached to a cuddlemonster

 

fic character: having Angst about not being able to remember a Life-Altering Event that happened when he was three
me: m8 I can't even remember being twelve, chill the fuck out

 

Spoiler: CATS the movie liveblog, transcribed from writing in the dark

there are kids in this theater, I am concern (they were actually surprisingly quiet for most of it)

there's a cute little nod to the poster/soundtrack cover in the transition between the production companies' panels and the movie proper

CURSED CG (re: tiny tails and some wonky facial rendering)

SPIDER CAT (no actual spiders, Munkus is just........ Like That)

VICTORIA IS BABEY

EXACTLY as horny as the musical

A+ CHOREOGRAPHY

MISTO IS BABEY

The Macavity-Moriarty parallels are actually pointed out

why is vic so horny for munkus

MAKE THE TAILS BIGGER PLEASE
they did fix the patterns tho

The Naming Of Cats is appropriately spoopy but has a very different rhythm

MISTO BABEY

lips...... BAD (the actors clearly were wearing makeup and then cg'd into cats, but no one........ greasepainted lips like the stage show does....... it's weird..........)

wrong vibe for Gumby Cat

why do the roaches look better than the cats (the roaches are surprisingly pretty???)

TUGGER
Tugger has less vocal range? I like derulo but it's just not the same

Ear microexpressions!!!

Cream-covered cat orgy for Tugger seems appropriate

GRIZABELLA

no one knows what's up with Griza but there's rumor with her and Macavity

Bustopher's improved by not sharing his song

Macavity is a credible threat????

MUNGOJERRY AND RUMPLETEAZER RETURN TO JAZZ

Mungo gives Victoria a literal pearl necklace..........

Please Don't Ship It (victoria/mistofelees)

GROWLTIGER LIVES & is separate from Gus' song
where crew???

Tugger is removed from Old Deuteronomy's song

SKIMBLE X MUNKUS TEASE IN JELLICLE BALL

Victoria has Misto's 5-jump for some reason???

WHY HAS VICTORIA GOT A SONG? it's pretty, but...

Moments Of Happiness is Bad...... I love Judi Dench but she can't sing

Misto is a fan of Gus <3 cute!!!

Gus' song is severely truncated

SKIMBLE TAP DANCES

Macavity's song is V Drugs; involves Mungojerry and Rumpleteazer more obviously, but is almost entirely sung by Bombalurina until the end

Vic and Munkus do the intro for Magical Mister Mistofelees instead of Tugger. Why is Tugger getting shafted all the time c'mon
The emotional impact of MMM is kept-- maybe even amped up-- but there's a lot less acrobatics and I was looking forward to him flinging himself around the room

Growltiger's death is kinda eh, still no Griddlebone

Victoria is just a conglomerate of All the kitten roles, apparently

Yeah I love her but Dench can't sing

Memory has less range and flows worse but MORE EMOTION

 

watching somebody who has clearly never seen Cats liveblog the film onto my dash
rest in fucking pieces dude I don't know what you expected

 

Oh *honey*, why would you ever do that to yourself....
I love cats so much but I would never subject anyone to that highly specific adaptation of this acid trip of a horny furry musical.... like.... at least not without commentary and notes....

 

guardian of the forest verdict: disappointingly bland. when a 1-star review complains it smells like "rolling in grass clippings," I want good strong hay smell :( pretty green water, but not picking this one again.
