shitposting rave 4: (almost) anything goes

means they dont have nonmagic peeps in their family!! kinda stuck-up bunch of posers, if you ask me.

 

But if people just think you're housecats, they don't treat you like people. Some things are acceptable when done to animals that aren't when done to people without permission, you know.

 

One of your second names would've came in handy for me. The Director and Alpha used to call themselves 'Church,' but 'Church' is.... I'm Church. And they're me, sorta, but... they're also not. And it would've been nice if we hadn't all thought we had the right to the same name. The other fragments took not being Church just fine, so... I dunno. It's just kinda confusing, names and identities. Which me is me and which is someone else or just a shadow.

Who's the real Church? No one fucking knows and I don't know if it even matters!

 

"does world domination count as a horrible thing?"

 

Are you saying that... there's no such thing as an evil jellicle? Really?

 

"Of course you don't," says Jezebel. "It's a story about people like you, who always choose to learn the wrong lesson. You could have decided not to cast spells on people that force them to do things, but that didn't even occur to you."

 

Hello, you are very small! [he prrprrs back]

[he smiles and nods] It does have a good ring! With a name like that, any cat could hold their head up.

As if any human could do anything to a jellicle they don't want done. [he scoffs]

Maybe you're all you, or none of you are! Have you considered picking a second name? Generally, that's one we choose for ourselves, so it could work like that for you, too.

Generally, yes.

[he bristles and scowls] If you're evil, you're not one of us! You might be able to do the things we can do, but you're not a jellicle.

 

because thats a stupid lesson to learn.

 

and besides, it wasnt like i IMPERIUSED him or something. dancing jinxes arent illegal.

 

"we assume that you will nyat be willing to join the cat army, then? we could use your powers, you know."

 

I do have one, Epsilon. And technically I did pick it, even though it wasn't this me that did that, but... it doesn't feel as much like me as Church does. And Leo and Lee and Len and Leonard don't feel much like me either.

 

"Why is it stupid? I'm not talking about fighting, although even in that situation, I prefer not to control other people. But seriously, as a prank? That's a terrible sort of prank. Pranks should be funny, and violating somebody else's free will is not funny."

 

then why was i laughing, huh?

 

... so, yes?

And I'm not asking 'cause I'm evil or think I'm a jellicle. I just think "my kind is never ever evil and if you think you saw an evil one, they are not my kind" is really stupid. I mean, seriously? Seriously?

 

"Because you're a douchebag, Q.E.D." Jezebel snorts.

 

-She raises an eyebrow.-

Humans can even do things to humans they don't want done. I would know.

-She covers her mouth, looking away.-

 

Humans used to do things to me that I didn't want done on the regular.

 

tarantallegra!!!!

 

Would you prefer to DESTROY THE WORLD?

 

"A word," says Gwendolyn. "Norm, you seem to think that being a Jellicle is like being a Siamese--something you inherit from your parents and don't get to choose. But maybe it isn't. Maybe it has more to do with who you choose to be, and if you're evil, you might keep your powers, but you lose the right to the name, because you've lost an important part of what makes a Jellicle special."
